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
