The Park Planning & Development team is updating the City's Strategic Trails Plan (STP), which will provide a framework for the future planning, design, maintenance, and preservation of the recreational paved trail system.
Throughout the planning process, numerous opportunities for input will be provided as we envision an expanding trail system that provides enhanced recreational opportunities, while connecting you to places you need to go.
Note: While the Natural Areas Department also provides many miles of natural and paved trails, the STP includes only the paved trails maintained and managed by the City of Fort Collins Parks Department. Additionally, the Mason Trail is not included in the planning study as it falls under the city’s Streets Department.
We look forward to continuing the buildout of a paved trail network that is accessible, safe, innovative, and built with intention for users of all ages, lifestyles, activity levels, and transportation modes.
STRATEGIC TRAILS PLAN PROJECT GOALS
Assess if the paved trail system is meeting the needs of the community, and determine opportunities and challenges for improvement.
Develop a shared vision for the expansion of the paved trail system to meet the future needs of a growing community.
Create transparency to trail funding, planning, design, construction and maintenance.
Explore and develop new policies to improve the current and future paved trail system.
