Process

Long-range trail plans are the result of working together with the community and agency stakeholders to create a detailed vision for the future trail. 

This plan will provide direction on where the future trail will go, what land is needed, what features it may have, how it will enhance the corridors' resources, and set maintenance expectations. 

A successful planning process takes the community's ideas and turns them into a practical plan that prepares the project for future stages like funding, design, and construction.
