Subjects

Right Trails, Right Place

It's not too hard to figure out where to locate a rail trail, but what about the other trails in your community?  What are the most appropriate ways to integrate bicycle and pedestrian travel within a road right-of-way?  What differentiates an "urban greenway" from a street that is comfortable to bike on?  This webinar will explore these and other issues facing communities developing a comprehensive trails plan.
