Download or read book Urban Trail System Planning in the Western United States written by Kenneth C. Richley and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: States in the Western United States are growing at rates outpacing the rest of the nation. This growth is placing pressure on communities to develop their current open space for residential or commercial use. As cities develop a comprehensive open space plans, several elements arise. One critical element is connectivity. This connectivity is most often realized in the form of greenways. In many cities these greenways contain urban trail systems that provide significant recreation and connectivity benefits. This thesis investigates the current recommended models used to plan for greenway, synthesizes them into a recommended model process, and analyzes case studies of four cities that have implemented urban trail systems against this model framework. The case studies include cities in the West with populations between 50,000 and 100,000 that are not part of a greater metropolitan area with demonstrated planning and implementation of urban trail systems. This selection provides the most relevance to smaller cities in the West that are beginning open space planning efforts. Developing a recommended model process will aid smaller communities in planning for greenways by providing a step-by-step process from concept to implementation. This guide can provide a roadmap for communities that do not have experience with these planning models and can be used by citizens and non-planning professionals as well. Three critical factors arose that were common to all case studies. First, the need to follow a trail-specific planning process. The communities studied had all made efforts to plan for trails apart from their general or comprehensive plans. Second, the planning process must have a robust public participation process. This ensures that community needs are met and buy-in is achieved for the implementation process. Lastly, the early identification of trail corridors is essential to the long-term planning process. This ensures that there are no surprises for the community when implementation begins. These factors should receive particular attention from communities wishing to develop urban trail systems.

This book is not a "how to" for structuring a Trail Town program.

Easy to digest, fun to read, and full of inspiration, this book is destined to become a staple in my trail reference library. " --Mike Passo, Executive Director of American Trails "Deciding on Trails is a book for people who want more for their places. This carefully researched, heartfelt book will easily convince community champions to embrace their trails. And these pages are not only full on inspiration, but this book provides these champions with the tools they need to make the most of their community's trails." --Kent Spellman, Consultant at Rails-to-Trails Conservancy

Download or read book The Cultural Heritage Trail Design Guidelines: A Manual For Urban Revitalization Through Emphasis On Cultural Awareness And Context-Sensitive Planning written by Linda Suhajdova and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cultural heritage is a significant and frequently overlooked part of the urban fabric, presenting architects and urban planners with a potential for revitalizing communities from within. This thesis explores the integration of cultural elements into the planning process of urban revitalization. The major focus of the literature review is on the planning and implementation of an urban trail, which is a pedestrian and bicycle-friendly physical path that links together historic locations of the neighborhood. The case studies show the potential of urban trails to help raise the awareness of cultural heritage in the urban realm and improve the livability of public spaces. The design portion of this thesis develops a planning tool in the form of prototypical Design Guidelines. A series of guiding principles outlines the process of planning a cultural heritage trail. Demonstrated by the design of the Memphis Heritage Trail, Design Guidelines provide specific design recommendations to cultural as well as physical improvement of urban communities..
