Purpose and Objectives of the Plan
The following goals and concepts were agreed upon early in the process:
- Develop a master plan consisting of:
- An inventory of relevant features within the feasible trail corridors
- Identification of land ownership and right-of-way issues
- Identification of route options listing the advantages and disadvantages of each route
- Identification of cultural resources
- A detailed GIS map of the corridor that could be used in the future to assist in trails planning, funding applications, and provide a tool for conducting public meetings
- It was agreed that this master plan would not necessarily identify the final route for each section of a trail but instead would present and analyze various options.
- The steering committee also emphasized that any implied, future rights-of-way acquisitions should be construed as feasible only through voluntary actions of affected landowners.
- Develop a library of materials for future use including
- A report containing relevant data and maps, showing options, and presenting a vision for the trail.
- A brochure for public distribution
