Abstract:

The Priority Trails Map encompasses the most important corridors and connections within the FGTS Land Trails Opportunity Map and Paddling Trails Opportunity Map. The corridors within the Priority Trails Map will, to the greatest extent possible:
1) Support and further national, state or regional trail projects, plans and initiatives that encompass multiple counties. 2) Include existing and planned long-distance trails and trail loops that serve as destinations to support nature-based tourism and economic development. 3) Include the State Trails, the Cross Florida Greenway and other major connecting trails of greatest length (five miles or longer). 4) Connect major population centers to provide access to the FGTS by the greatest number of Floridians. 5) Build on past and programmed state and federal investment in trails, particularly when matched by funding from local and private sources. 6) Coincide with transportation, utility and canal corridors that facilitate major connections. 7) Coincide with the Florida Ecological Greenways Network. 8) Connect natural, recreational, cultural and historic sites that provide a range of experiences. 9) Provide a safe, accessible and high quality experience for users.

Purpose:

These shapefiles were created as part of the Florida Greenways & Trails System (FGTS) Plan 2013-2017, which outlines the new vision for the Florida Greenways and Trails System. It defines the role of the FGTS in advancing Florida?s economy, tourism, health, transportation, recreation, conservation and quality of life. This is the first update to the FGTS Plan since Connecting Florida?s Communities laid the groundwork in 1998 to implement the many greenways and trails programs and projects that exist today.

Supplemental_Information:

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.

Process_Description:

This data set was recevied via email from Eric.Hand@dep.state.fl.us in September 2013. When received the layer was in shapefile format and Albers HARN projection.
-Removed one empty record from attribute table, re-calculated segment miles using ArcMap. -Replaced project file with FGDL Albers file -Added DESCRIPT field based on SEG_NAME and upcased field -Renamed file from LAND_TRAIL_PRIORITY.SHP to TRAIL_PRIO_2013 -FGDLAQDATE added based on date received from source.

Resource_Description: DOWNLOADABLE DATA

Distribution_Liability:

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, modifying, contributing or distributing the materials.
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: <http://geoplan.ufl.edu/education.html>
