Strategic Trails Plan

For the Department of Parks and Recreation

The Strategic Trails Plan was developed over a multi-year planning process beginning in 2015. Work completed by the Toole Design Group consultant team in 2016 has been repackaged and is presented here for public review during the month of August 2018. (Note: Over the course of the planning process, this plan has been referred to as the “Trails Master Plan,” and as the “Trails Implementation Plan.”)
