In looking at the proposed route, it reminds me a lot of the now defunct Heartland Pkwy. Anyway, FDOT appears to to be serious about the 210 mile trail.

Thankts pretty cool. I like that they are connecting a series of existing trail corridors. Secure the land while they can. Polk is quickly being developed north of State Road 60.
This will be awesome if they can pull it off. Would be great for the Florida Wildlife Corridor too.
