Trail Maintenance Policy - Status Update

The purpose of this case is to garner the Public Works Committee's recommendations on the scope and intent for the city's forthcoming Trail Maintenance Policy.  Attached is a 2004 draft that may serve as an example of the type of written content that may be expected for the formalized Trail Maintenance Policy. Also attached is a draft table that represents maintenance activities by frequency and time-of-year.

Below is an example of how the plan may be organized:

Section 1: Introduction..................................................................................................................... 3
Section 2: General Policy Statement............................................................................................... 3
Section 3: General Maintenance Goals and Intent.......................................................................... 4
Section 4. Bituminous Trail Maintenance Practices .........................................................................
Section 5.  Boardwalk and Other Trail Maintenance.........................................................................
Section 6. Sidewalks ........................................................................................................................
Section 7. Winter Trail Maintenance.................................................................................................
Section 8. Funding............................................................................................................................ 
Section 9. Appendix .........................................................................................................................

 

For the meeting, staff will highlight trail maintenance practices and review the 2024 trail maintenance program, (estimated 10 minutes). 

No funding is required or implicated at this time.

Staff requests feedback on content and scope of the desired Trail Maintenance Policy.

By consensus, provide staff guidance on the developing draft Trail Maintenance Policy.
