Upper Tampa Bay Trail grows new legs
Over 17 years in the making, construction of two legs of the Upper Tampa Bay Trail will begin by the end of 2013. Fondly referred to as segments “C-1” and “C-2”, the project entails 4.3 miles of trail. C-1 follows Lutz Lake Fern Rd., connecting to more than 50 miles of regional trail at the southern terminus of the Suncoast Trail. C-2 extends from Lutz Lake Fern Rd. south to Keystone Park and Austin Davis Public Library, in the vicinity of Wayne Road. That leaves segments A and B, which will need further study before they can be completed.
The new trail segments are expected to open at the end of 2014. A partnership between Hillsborough County, FDOT and SWFMD are bringing this approximately $6 million asset to our community.
