We have a new meeting place. The next meeting of the Trails and Bikeways Council will be held Tuesday, June 24, at 7:00 P.M.

at  1615 Continental St  

 

AGENDA:

Trail Enthusiasts:
 
MEETING:  Tues, June 24, 7:00 PM
 
PLACE:   1615 Continental Street, which is on the east side of the street located between Yuba and Placer Streets.  See TBC website for map:  www.reddingtrailsandbikeways.org
 
Agenda:
 
TBC is inviting discussion about trails creation through private property and the obstacles involved in creating a large interconnecting trail system.  Draft position statements are posted at www.reddingtrailsandbikeways.org and we hope the public will weigh in with comments via email or attendance at our meetings.
 
The Gist:
Despite the many community benefits trails offer, the Redding area trails system is unlikely to come close to achieving its potential unless planners, planning commissioners, elected local government officials, and other interested parties think of trails and bikeways as community enhancements similar to underground utilities and paved roads and develop a policy that create incentives to encourage private property owners to grant public trail easements out of self-interest.
 
We want to hear from you!
WHERE:    1615 Continental Street
 
All trails enthusiasts are invited to attend; need not be a member.
