THe Need for off-street trails
- Paved off-street trails constructed in linear parkways provide greater safety and a superior hiking/cycling/equestrian experience through reduced user interaction with traffic.
- Dual path (paved and graded earth) trails serve a broad array of users: bicyclists, walkers, joggers, equestrians, skaters, children in strollers, and people who use wheelchairs.
- Linear parkway trails provide non-motorized transportation linkages between schools, homes, parks, hiking trails, on-street bike lanes, commercial areas and other points of interest.
- By creating safe and appealing corridors for non-motorized transportation, physical activity is facilitated, public health is improved, and a sense of community is encouraged.
- Off-street trails are scarce in the Coachella Valley. Only a few disjointed miles of linear parkway are currently developed.
