CONDUCT TRAIL SAFETY ANALYSIS
• Develop a guide for staff to design and implement trails, aimed at minimizing user conflicts and en- suring the safety of people and protection of natural resources. • Address all user types including emerging electric modes in future safety analyses and in the design guide. • In light of the emerging electric modes, identify the need for establishing speed limits on Hills- borough County Greenways and include within the design guide. • Clearly communicate safety instructions at trailheads and via online maps and wayfinding. • Adequately fund monitoring and enforcement.
COORDINATE IMPLEMENTATION
• Increase coordination between municipalities by navigating legal barriers that prevent or hinder coordination between municipalities with assistance from the County attorney. • Actively and regularly coordinate with agencies, utility companies, and adjacent municipalities to implement the Greenways and Trails Master Plan. • Establish a schedule for regular coordination with greenways implementation partners. • Work with greenways implementation partners to identify and maximize opportunities to better coordinate plans, minimize adverse impacts, and find solutions to meeting greenway objectives. • Clarify the mission, responsibilities, and title of the Hillsborough Greenways Committee to re- flect the Greenways and Trails Master Plan.
GREENING OF NEW AND EXISTING GREENWAYS
• Identify opportunities to rewild appropriate areas adjacent to greenways to increase natural connections, wildlife habitat, and overall biodiversity, such as through landscaped border treat- ments, pocket parks, small water features, and increased tree canopy, including Florida - Friendly landscaping.
ESTABLISH MITIGATION BANKS
• Establish mitigation banks in the areas that have already been identified for that purpose. • Encourage and support the siting of upland and wetland mitigation banks, required by various regulatory programs, at locations within Hillsborough County which would contribute to the de- velopment of the greenway system.
