“Recreation trails are for people. They allow us to go back to our roots. Trails help humans make sense of a world increasingly dominated by automobiles and pavement. They allow us to come more closely in touch with our natural surroundings, to soothe our psyches, to challenge our bodies, and to practice ancient skills.” Randolph T. Hester, Jr., Planning Neighborhood Space with People
The provision of greenways with multi-use trails within Lee County and the region is an important priority of the State of Florida and the Lee County Board of Commissioners. These greenways and trails will provide recreation, alternative transportation and health and wellness benefits as well as enhancing community quality of life.
In Lee County there is a need and desire for increased recreational trails and blueways system for passive pursuits such as bicycling, in-line skating, walking, hiking, jogging, and canoeing/kayaking. Providing such a greenway system will provide numerous benefits to the citizens of Lee County. Additionally, besides quality of life benefits, a trail system will address the need for separated multi-use paths as well as addressing safety issues as mentioned in Lee County Metropolitan Planning Organization 2030 Long Range Transportation Plan Goals.
The quality of life benefits generated by greenways and trails for Lee County are numerous. The trails will offer recreational opportunities, preservation of natural resources, increase in greenspace and offer alternative transportation links. The trails will also offer health and wellness benefits by providing close to home recreational opportunities. Additionally, the trails will provide enhanced eco-tourism opportunities and the expectations are potential economic benefits to the community which is supported by the Lee Island Coast Visitor and Convention Bureau.
