goals & timeline

The overall goal of the masterplanning process is to generate a long-term plan for a network of trails and bike lanes to serve the current and future East Mountain community. This network will accommodate a variety of users and uses. The trails and bikeway corridors are intended to connect open spaces, parks, community centers, schools, landmarks and other places of value to the community. Community input will be the key to determining destinations and how trails are managed.

The process for the master plan will include the following activities:

Identify and review existing trail facilites and related infrastructure
Identify key potential users and uses af the trails system in the East Mountains
Identify important places and corridors and their potential user groups
Identify possible opportunities for connections and potential constraints
Determine routes for proposed trails and bike lanes
Determine gateways, major rest areas and interpretive places
Determine implementation strategies and phasing.


The East Mountain Trails and Bikeways Facilities Master Plan generally follows the timeline shown below.
