The National Highway System Designation Act of 1995 (NHS Act) amended and revived the NRTFA. The Transportation Equity Act for the 21 st Century amended and provided assured funding for the program and changed the program name to Recreational Trails Program (RTP). The purpose of RTP is to provide funds for projects that provide or maintain recreational trails. A recreational trail means: A thoroughfare or track across land or water, used for recreational purposes such as bicycling, day hiking, equestrian activities, jogging or similar fitness activities, trail biking, overnight and long distance backpacking, roller skating, in-line skating, running, aquatic or water activity and vehicular travel by motorcycle, four-wheel drive, all terrain off-road vehicles, or dune buggies. The RTP is administered by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) in coordination with the U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). Grant application proposals are evaluated according to policies and procedures described in Chapter 62S-2, Florida Administrative Code (FAC.). This is commonly known as the Rec Trails Rule. Applicants should familiarize themselves with these policies and procedures. This packet will assist all applicants in preparing and presenting the information needed for DEP to evaluate proposed RTP applications.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION Briefly describe the proposed project. Include physical characteristics of the site, such as land resources, vegetation, fish and wildlife, historical, archaeological resources, previous land usage and transportation access as well as a description of proposed project activities. If the project is an equipment purchase, describe the equipment, how it will be used to benefit recreational trails (include where it will be stored, who will maintain it, proposed projects for its use and the land managing agency on whose property equipment will be used). TEXT MUST FIT IN SPACE PROVIDED. The Gordon River Greenway Park is one part of the larger "Gordon River Greenway Project", which, when complete, will be a 2-mile ecological and trail corridor centrally located within the Naples-Collier urban area. The Park itself is comprised of a northern 80 acre portion - owned by Collier County's Parks and Recreation Department - and a southern 43.5 acre portion - owned by Collier County's Conservation Collier Program. Once constructed, the entire Park will contain over 4,500 linear feet of paved trail and 4,500 linear feet of raised boardwalk: however, this grant application project includes only construction of improvements within the southern portion of the Greenway Park - a 150 foot long pedestrian bridge across the Gordon River and 1,500 linear feet of boardwalk trails. The project area consists primarily of undeveloped mangrove swamp wetlands, These wetlands serve as a buffer to the Gordon River for water quality and flood control. The site provides habitat for listed wading birds, fish, and other wildlife, and a rookery island is present within the project boundary. Development of the boardwalks will take place entirely within the mangrove wetlands, with the pedestrian bridge spanning the Gordon River - connecting western boardwalk to eastern stabilized trail. (Stabilized trails will be developed within upland areas of the Park outside the scope of this grant application). The pedestrian bridge will be composed of a pre-fabricated super- structure and an in-situ contructed sub-structure. The bridge wi II be designed to conform to federal laws regarding both height and distance to mean high water, due to it's proximity to Naples airport and it's location within the Gordon River - a navigeable waterway with Gulf of Mexico access. To reduce future maintenance costs, boardwalks will be constructed of a long lasting sustainably harvested hardwood. An archaeological site of prehistoric redeposited shell scatter exists along the southeastern section of the project and has been recorded with the State. The project will provide pedestrians with a transportation connection from Golden Gate Parkway to Goodlette Road South.

Use the Outdoor Recreation in Florida - 2000 (SCORP). Provide quotations or other appropriate references to justify the correlation. Use a separate sheet if necessary. Chapter 6-1, Goal 1: The project has "improve[d] coordination, communication and cooperation between government, non-profit and private recreation providers in outdoor recreation planning and land management". For over 20 years, the idea of a centrally located preserve/park along the Gordon River has been envisioned by various community groups in Collier County. A non-profit agency, the Southwest Florida Land Preservation Trust has promoted the Gordon River Greenway for many years and from 1999-2000 constructed a portion of the greenway within City of Naples property that is managed by the City of Naples Airport Authority. Other partner agencies involved with the Gordon River Greenway include: Big Cypress Basin/South Florida Water Management District, The Conservancy of Southwest Florida, City of Naples and Naples Airport Authority. ChaDter 6-1, Goal 2: This project will "improve coordination, communication and cooperation between land managing agencies" by providing a link to future Collier County Parks and Recreation managed trails within the northern portion of the Gordon River Greenway Park and by providing a link to existing and future City of Naples managed Greenway Trails. The boardwalks and bridge within this project will provide a vital connection within the entire trail system and allow for coordinated management of all sections of the Gordon River Greenway owned and managed by different agencies. Chapter 6-1. Goal 3: This project will "support conservation and recreation land acquisition programs" by providing funding assistance to Conservation Collier, a Collier County conservation land acquisition program. Chapter 6-1. Goal 4: The project will "provide... opportunities for... resource-based outdoor recreation in [an] urban area". The Greenway Park will serve as both an ecological/wildlife corridor and a public access area for passive recreation such as hiking, biking, skating, nature photography, and bird-watching within an urban area of Collier County. Chapter 6-1, Goal 5: The project will "support special programs to broaden public participation in outdoor recreation, improve recreational access for those with physical or mental disabilities, promote a stewardship ethic, ... and increase public understanding of the value and importance of Florida's natural and cultural resources". Agenda Item No. 16E7 March 23, 2010 Page 51 0179 Parks and Recreation Park Ranger and Naturalist staff will present natural history programs at the site. Content for programming will include: The Importance of Preserving Wetlands, Wetland Plants and their Medicinal Uses, Birding in the Wetlands, and Dr. Nehrling and Exotic Species. Dr. Nehrling settled in the lands surrounding the Gordon River Greenway Park in the early 1900's. He developed a botanical garden, some specimens of which are still present in the area today. The boardwalk and bridge will create a recreational trail that will be accessible to people with physical and mental disabilities through natural ecosystems that are currently only accessible by boat and by those that can maneuver through thick vegetation. Three interpretive signs will be located along the boardwalk: one with information regarding the importance of the mangrove ecosystem, one with information regarding the importance of the estuary, and one identifying and discussing the life history of the yellow-crowned night heron. Chapter 6-1, Goal 6: This project will "increase funding and revenue generating capabilities for outdoor recreation". Construction of the southern boardwalks and pedestrian bridge within Gordon River Greenway Park will encourage other agencies involved with the Gordon River Greenway - City of Naples, Naples Airport Authority, Southwest Florida Land Trust - to follow through with construction of their undeveloped portions of the Greenway. The pedestrian bridge within this project is the link between the northern section of the Greenway owned by Collier County and the southern section of the Greenway owned by others. Completion of this section of the Greenway will garner community support for completion of the entire Greenway and will improve opportunities for future grant awards within the entire Greenway. Agenda Item No. 16E7 March 23, 2010 Page 52 of 79 EXHIBIT J State Greenways and Trails Plan support documentation Agenda Item No. 16E7 March 23, 2010 Page 53 of 79 Explain how the proposed project would address one or more issues or goals as identified in the State's Greenways and Trails Plan. Use the Connecting Florida's Communities with Greenways and Trails - September 1998. Provide quotations or other appropriate references to justify the correlation. Use a separate sheet if necessary. Listed below are the Recommendations and Strategies from the State's Greenways and Trails Plan and the specific ways in which the proposed project employs, or will employ, each Strategy. "Recommendation Three: Stimulate awareness, involvement and action in public and private croups that can help create and manace communitv creenwavs and trails, and components of the statewide svstem." "Strategy 2: Generate support for and involvement in the creation of greenways and trails in local communities. " The public and multiple area agencies have contributed to the Gordon River Greenway Park and the Gordon River Greenway Project as a whole. For over 20 years, the idea of a centrally located preservelpark along the Gordon River has been envisioned by various community groups in Collier County. The Southwest Florida Land Preservation Trust has promoted a Gordon River Greenway for many years and from 1999-2000 designed and constructed a portion of the Greenway. Recently, community support has blossomed and the Land Trust has revitalized its efforts to coordinate this project's completion. The Naples Pathways Coalition, Inc., a non-profit group of local citizens advocating a fully integrated and safe pedestrian, bicycle and other non-motorized transportation network throughout Naples and Collier County, is also a strong supporter of the Gordon River Greenway. Please see attached support letter. "Strategy 5: Encourage developers to include green ways and bicycle, equestrian and pedestrian trails within large developments and to link internal trail systems with the larger state greenways and trails system. " River Reach, a condominium community just north of the project site, has plans to connect its existing recreational trail to the southern portion of the Gordon River Greenway Park trail. "Strategy 6: Encourage government agencies at all levels to include greenways and trails in their planning processes. " There is a City of Naples and County commitment to complete this project, which was conceived over 10 years ago accepted and adopted through several Master Plans and the Collier County Growth Management Plan. There is clear overall vision for the Greenway Plan. The Gordon River Greenway is identified as a Tier 1 Off-Road Facility within the Collier County Comprehensive Pathways Plan. The plan was adopted by the Collier Metropolitan Planning Organization on January 12, 2006. The Comprehensive Pathways Plan is incorporated by reference in the Collier County Growth Management Plan, in the Transportation Element, Objective 4. Agenda Item No. 16E7 March 23, 2010 Page 54 of 79 "Strategy 7: Expand the green ways and trails system by using existing greenways and trails as models for developing new components. " The proposed project is north of existing portions of the Gordon River Greenway constructed by the Southwest Florida Preservation Trust. Members of the Southwest Florida Preservation are currently involved with the design of the Gordon River Greenway Park. Easements secured by the Southwest Florida Preservation Trust within City of Naples property adjacent to both the proposed project site and existing portions of the Greenway will ensure future connections of the Greenway. "Recommendation Four: Provide additional resources for local. reQional. state and federal aQencies and private landowners to acquire, protect and develop lands for Qreenwavs and trails." "Strategy 2: Communities should pursue a combination offunding sources and other tools at the federal, state, regional and local level to support green ways and trails initiatives. " Collier County received a Florida Communties' Trust Grant Award for acquisition of the northern portion of the Greenway Park. Funds received from the state through the FCT program will be used to develop trails and facilities within this section of the Park. The Southwest Florida Preservation Trust has been actively pursuing private donors to support the overall Greenway Project, and will continue to pursue grant funds for construction of unfunded sections of the Greenway. Collier County Government funds set aside specifically for land management activities and public access amenities within Conservation Collier preserves will be provided as match for this proposed project should it receive RTP funding. "Recommendation Seven: Educate and inform Florida's residents and visitors about the value of the state's Qreenwavs and trails svstem." "Strategy 1: Promote awareness, understanding, and recreational use of Florida's green ways and trails, and make eco-tourism and heritagetourism profitable and sustainable industries in Florida. " Three interpretive signs will be located along the boardwalk within the proposed project site: one with information regarding the importance of the mangrove ecosystem, one with information regarding the importance of the estuary, and one identifying and discussing the life history of the yellow-crowned night heron. Agenda Item No. 16E7 March 23. 2010 Page 55 of 79 Collier County Parks and Recreation Park Ranger and Naturalist staff will also present approximately 24 natural history programs at the proposed project site annually - in conjunction with programs being presented within the northern portion of the Gordon River Greenway Park. Staff presenting the programs will have completed the National Association of Interpretation Certified Interpretive Guide Course. All educational programs will be developed by the Senior Park Naturalist/Program Supervisor. Programs will include: The Importance of Preserving Wetlands, Wetland Plants and their Medicinal Uses, Birding in the Wetlands, and Dr. Nehrling and Exotic Species. Programs will be presented twice a month, on Wednesday and Saturday mornings. Programs will be advertised in the Collier County Parks and Recreation Program Guide and the Park Ranger To Go Menu of Programs that is distributed to Collier County Public Schools each August. Target audience to include: general public. professionals, tourists, and elementary and secondary school children. The proposed project will aiso meet the State's Greenways and Trails Plan benchmark to "maintain or restore natural, recreational, cultural and historic resources on greenways and trails to the extent necessary for the areas to continue to be suitable for designation". The proposed project site will be maintained as conservation land in-perpetuity, as required by Collier County Ordinance 2003-63, as amended. Approximately 8.9 acres of the site is covered with dense invasive exotic vegetation. All invasive exotic plants within the entire site will be controlled and their eradication monitored as part of the project. Additionally, design and construction of all improvements will avoid disturbance of State archaeological site 8CR978 located within the project boundary.

The CDC property had a deyelopment plan for nwlti-family housing 01.\ the property v,>hen it was pw:chased. The d~ve1opment of the Greenway has been a community goal for at least 2 decades and I10W invon'eS many local so'\"emment and non-government partners working across municipal boundaries. We believe it is a <:onUllluUty p'Oject that enhances and protects our community and brings together many different groups to achieve a shared '\ision.
