Hundreds of ideas were collected through the online surveys, Community Listening Sessions, Com- munity Vision Workshops, and follow - up corre- spondence over the course of the one - year Green- ways Master Plan update process. At the Summer 2022 Listening Sessions and corre- sponding online survey, participants gave their feedback on what makes an ideal greenway. Being safe from traffic, close to nature, and shaded were the top preferences. Participants also placed lines and comments on a map to indicate where they would like to see future greenways. These markings became part of the Vision Map. In the Fall 2022 Vision Workshops, participants re- sponded to the draft Greenways Vision Map and proposed Objectives. Participants also gave input on their priorities for future greenways, which led to the following criteria for prioritizing projects:
• Access to Opportunity (Education and Transit) • Community Access • Connections to Nature • Demand Indicators • Economic and Employment Opportunity • Network Connectivity • Proximity to Other Key Public Facilities • Safety By using these measures, based on community val- ues, to prioritize greenways, the County can focus their resources and efforts on the greenways that will benefit residents and visitors the most.
