Hillsborough Corridor Planning & Preservation Best Practices

Table 4. Draft Mobility Section Trails Objectives and Policies, Continued Policy 5.7.7 Coordinate trail planning among neighboring jurisdictions to enhance the trail network and linkages. (ROSE Policy 1.4.8) Policy 5.7.8 Evaluate ways to fund trails and shared-use paths used for mobility (including, but not limited to, developer contributions) and implement those initiatives supported by the BOCC. (ROSE Policy 1.4.7) Policy 5.7.9 In cooperation with state, regional and local entities, ensure no actions are taken that impair the access to or use of trails and shared-use paths used for mobility. (ROSE Policy 1.3.12) Source: Hillsborough County Comprehensive Plan, Draft Mobility Section, February 2022 As noted above, staff are seeking opportunities to co-locate multi-use trails adjacent or parallel to limited access highways, along drainage channels, shorelines and utility and railroad rights-of-way.
