By far, recreational trails ranked highest among suggested capital upgrades during the formulation of our 2018 Parks and Recreation Master Plan.

It is recognized that there is an overall lack of pedestrian connectivity between neighborhoods and activity nodes throughout the City. The corridors proposed in the referendum are intended to connect the community while providing opportunities to enjoy nature, renew, and participate in a healthy outdoor fitness activity.
