The Public Amenities Master Plan anticipates that portions of the Riverfront Development trail network
<br /> will be expanded and improved incrementally, synchronized with the schedule of private development
<br /> and associated public demand, and constructed as public monies are available. With continuity of
<br /> public access a city priority, the improvements proposed for the Riverfront Trail and the installation of
<br /> the new Railroad Corridor Trail will precede other trail work. Enhancements to the major circulation
<br /> routes, such as the wetland boardwalk loops proposed for the margins of Wetland C, will follow the
<br /> Early Phase elements of trail system construction.
<br /> The master plan proposes to retain existing trails where feasible, and to improve, in most instances, the
<br /> existing facilities to meet the expanded requirements of multimodal use. Trail repair and continuing
<br /> maintenance will be needed. Trail surfacing includes asphalt pavement, crushed rock, boardwalk, and
<br /> bridges. Several sections of existing paved trail will b widened, and new crushed rock or reinforced
<br /> shoulders will adjoin the Riverfront and Railroad Corridor T rails. Repairs to root-heaved portions of the
<br /> asphalt trails will be required, and drainage improvements will be made for those areas prone to
<br /> standing water. All facilities are planned to be universally accessible, with surfacing and gradients that
<br /> accommodate the full range of abilities. Soft-surface trails designed to accommodate wheelchairs will
<br /> require regular maintenance and grooming to keep them accessible, and boardwalk sections may need
<br /> seasonal grooming and cleaning or repair after flood events.
