Types of Planning Activities : Trails and Greenway Plans


These studies typically concentrate on an off-road system of pathways that supplement sidewalks and bikeways within the roadway network. The paths or trails included in these plans should be planned and designed to meet the needs of various users including bicyclists and pedestrians. The primary purpose of these studies may be to support alternative transportation, or they may have a recreation focus as well.
