4 8 Island Transportation Planning Organization June 5 th, 2017 Sarasota/Manatee MPO th Street East Sarasota, FL RE: Letter of Support for SUN Trail Loop in Manatee County Dear Board Members, On behalf of the ITPO and the Cities of Anna Maria, Holmes Beach and Bradenton Beach, we hereby submit this letter of support for the proposed Sun Trail Loop in Manatee County. As we understand it, there are many other fine examples of adopted loop trail systems throughout the State of Florida, including St. Johns River to Sea Loop and the Coastal Trail (East and West) Loop in Wakulla County, both of which are part of the current Adopted Work Program. According to the March 1 st, 2017 SUN Trail FAQ, the only loops that are not considered for funding are those wholly within a single park or natural area. The proposed rural and coastal segments comprising the loop within Manatee County clearly meets all other criteria as defined in the SUN Trail Program Guidance documents. As such, it is our collective belief that this loop system will provide positive economic and quality of life benefits to the State s trail network and request full support from the governing bodies and state agencies. If for some unknown reason the loop is not supported by applicable agencies, then please also accept this letter as request for priority and funding to be allocated to the coastal trail segment. Thank you in advance for your consideration. Sincerely, Dan Murphy Mayor, City of Anna Maria Chair, ITPO
