Club Calendar

Please take a few minutes to fill out the following short survey at:

www.hillsboroughmpo.org/getinvolved

Results will be used in the development of the Comprehensive Bicycle Plan:  for prioritizing types of bicycle facilities; where they are needed; and what safety programs would help get more people to try cycling.

Bicyclists have diverse cycling skills and experiences, so it would be best to get a large number and variety of survey respondents.  Please circulate this survey to your friends, family, neighbors, and co-workers.

Thank you!

  • Help Connect the Upper Tampa Bay Trail to the Suncoast Trail

  • GOOD NEWS - There is a source of funding available if we voice the want and need of the public to our public officials, NOW!

  • Read the trails fact sheet here:

What is needed: Let your county commissioners know how much you want this connection. *Let the Parks Director, Mark Thornton know how much you want this connection.

WHY and WHAT: There is currently a amount of 40 million dollars available in the Community Investment Tax,(CIT is how most the current trail was built, that and grant funds). This 40 million is going to be used for parks, but the current talk is it going to athletic fields, and none to trails. Just to let you know, phase IV has already been through several phases of development, none of these "athletic fields" are designed or know where they will be built, or could be built. We only want a portion of the 40 million. The Parks department did a county wide survey and the number one request was for trails! We need to show it! SO if you want to see the connection of the Upper Tampa Bay Trail to Suncoast completed, you must let the public officials know what you WANT!

HOW: Call, write, email, Mr. Mark Thornton, and voice your want/desire for the connection of the Upper Tampa Bay Trail, with the current funding coming available to parks. Call, write, email, the Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners, and voice your want/desire for the connection of the Upper Tampa Bay Trail, with the current funding coming available to parks.
