3 - Trails and Pathways
Community Trails: 10’ – 12’ Concrete Trail Community-wide spine trails, which build from and are composed of the regional Veloweb trails, can create a city trail system connecting many of the key city destinations while establishing longer distance loops. Trailheads will be located along these trails along with a variety of trail amenities. Community-wide spine trails should be constructed of concrete and typically are 10 feet in width to accommodate the higher user capacity. In some segments, these trails may be up to 12 feet in width where a significant volume of users is anticipated. Sidewalks: 5’-8’ Concrete These local neighborhood walkways typically follow the system of adjacent neighborhood streets connecting into larger street networks. They connect neighborhood blocks and communities together and ultimately provide connection into area trails. Neighborhood sidewalks typically range anywhere from 4 feet to 6 feet in width. At locations where sidewalk connections to the trail system are indicated, a 5-foot minimum walkway is recommended. Soft Surface Trail: 4’-12’ Multi-Surface Trail Soft or hard surface trails are generally located in wooded areas or areas of specific natural significance to the City. These trails should connect into the community wide trail system.
