provides a safe means for non -vehicular travel, and also provides an opportunity for a variety of unstructured,
low -impact recreational pursuits. The addition of well -placed trail lighting that is frequently maintained improves
visibility, increases trail access, and provides convenience for trail users. The development and maintenance of
the trails system continues to receive significant support from the citizens as indicated in the responses to the
needs assessment survey conducted as a part of the Parks Master Plan update.
