TITLE: FLORIDA LAND TRAILS OPPORTUNITIES - 2013-2017

Geodataset Name:       MU_OPPS_DEC15
Geodataset Type:       SHAPEFILE
Geodataset Feature:    Polyline
Feature Count:         1635
GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
This dataset represents the existing, planned and conceptual non-motorized trails that form a land-based trail network of state and regional importance. This map is a synthesis of trail planning efforts being conducted by cities, counties, transportation planning organizations and other agencies and non-profits throughout Florida. This data does not include all existing, proposed and conceptual trails in Florida, but focuses on linear trails of state and regional significance to form a comprehensive connected system. The Land Trails Opportunity data is the state companion to community greenways and trails and bicycle and pedestrian master plans, and encompasses a combination of multiple and single-use trails to accommodate uses such as: walking, hiking, bicycling, mountain biking, horseback riding, skating and wildlife viewing.

The FGTS is made up of existing, planned and conceptual trails and ecological greenways that
form a connected, integrated statewide network. The FGTS serves as a green infrastructure plan
for Florida, tying together the greenways and trails plans and planning activities of communities,
agencies and non-profit organizations throughout Florida. The Opportunity Maps address Goal 1
of the FGST Plan - "Identify and prioritize trails and greenways to facilitate completion of the FGTS."
The Opportunity Maps contain the comprehensive vision for the FGTS.

This GIS layer was created by the Office of Greenways of Trails as an 
update to the 2012 Multi-use Trail Opportunity layer, to support the Florida 
Statewide Greenways & Trails System. To read more about the (FGTS) 
Florida Greenways & Trails System plan, please see:

This dataset should be used in conjunction with the Office of Greenways 
and Trails Florida Greenways & Trails System Plan 2013-2017. Pursuant to 
Chapter 260.0141 Florida Statutes: Planning materials, maps, and data and 
other information developed or used in the Greenways and Trails Program 
shall not be construed as designation of lands as part of the statewide system 
of greenways and trails. Identification of lands on this map shall not: 1. Require 
or empower any unit of local government, or any state agency, to impose 
additional or more restrictive environmental, land-use, or zoning regulations; 
2. Be construed or cited as authority to adopt, enforce, or amend any 
environmental rule or regulation; comprehensive plan goals, policies, or 
objectives; or zoning or land-use regulations; 3. Be used as the basis for 
permit denial; imposition of any permit condition; or application of any rule, 
regulation, or ordinance by any subdivision of local, regional, or state 
government, or; 4. Be construed or cited as authority by any governmental 
agency to reduce or restrict the rights of owners of lands so identified.

The Florida Geographic Data Library is a collection of Geospatial Data
compiled by the University of Florida GeoPlan Center with support from
the Florida Department of Transportation. GIS data available in FGDL is
collected from various state, federal, and other agencies (data sources)
who are data stewards, producers, or publishers. The data available in
FGDL may not be the most current version of the data offered by the
data source. University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no guarantees
about the currentness of the data and suggests that data users check
with the data source to see if more recent versions of the data exist.

Furthermore, the GIS data available in the FGDL are provided 'as is'.
The University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no warranties, guaranties
or representations as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of the data
provided by the data sources. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center
makes no representations or warranties about the quality or suitability
of the materials, either expressly or implied, including but not limited
to any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular
purpose, or non-infringement. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center
shall not be liable for any damages suffered as a result of using,

A note about data scale: 

Scale is an important factor in data usage.  Certain scale datasets
are not suitable for some project, analysis, or modeling purposes.
Please be sure you are using the best available data. 

1:24000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the
county level.
1:24000 data should NOT be used for high accuracy base mapping such
as property parcel boundaries.
1:100000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the
multi-county or regional level.
1:125000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the
regional or state level or larger.

Vector datasets with no defined scale or accuracy should be
considered suspect. Make sure you are familiar with your data
before using it for projects or analysis. Every effort has been
made to supply the user with data documentation. For additional
information, see the References section and the Data Source Contact
section of this documentation. For more information regarding
scale and accuracy, see our webpage at:
