Draft Natural Areas, Trails & Environment Policy Moves
Based on input received during the Discover phase, the planning team has developed a set of draft natural areas, trails & environment policy moves. Now the planning team wants to hear from you. Are these initial ideas headed in the right direction? Are there other priorities or ideas that should be considered?
Keep in mind that Policy describes what the city wants to achieve, but does not spell out exactly how to do it. Policy language is usually high-level. It balances clear direction with enough flexibility to respond to changing conditions, new technologies, or unforeseen events. With that in mind, try to imagine a future - 5 or 10 years from now - where these policies have been implemented consider these questions:
- If policies addressing these aspects of natural areas, trails, and environment are implemented, what changes would you expect?
- Is there anything that you think is missing from these natural areas, trails, and environment policy moves?
Protect natural areas, such as the Kelsey Creek Basin, and enhance public access and educational opportunities for their enjoyment by the community.
Explore ways to expand the tree canopy and improve stormwater management in areas dominated by impervious surfaces.
Encourage the joint use of public property for different purposes to maximize their benefit to the community.
