Alternatives for the southern sector trail are identified in Figure 45 and include:
US 41 Alternative (green): Starting from the TECO utility tract at Symmes Road, the alignment travels west on Symmes Road and turns north on US 41. The route uses the US 41 bridge across Bull Frog Creek, and provides access to the Gardenville Recreation Center and businesses along US 41 Utility Tract Alternative (purple): Continues north along the TECO utility tract starting from Symmes Road to Gibsonton Road, adjacent to Gibsonton Elementary School. The trail travels west along Gibsonton Road to connect to US 41. This alternative requires a new pedestrian bridge across Bull Frog Creek. Lula Alternative (yellow): Due to limited right of way (ROW) on US 41, the study proposed the trail be routed along Lula Street, which was the vision of the 1995 Greenways and Trails Master Plan. This deviation off US 41 could be explored more in future studies but has challenges including open drainage, limited Right of Way, and environmental constraints.
