The Foothills Trail System Master Plan
Foothills Trail System Phase I Construction Information
In order to establish a logical and publicly-supported implementation schedule for the proposed Foothills Trail System, the planning team developed a simple prioritization methodology to score, rank, and phase proposed trail projects. This methodology considered three basic criteria for each proposed trail: public support, land ownership, and necessity of habitat data collection. See p. 103 of the Master Plan for detailed information. Phase I trail construction has been separated into five project areas:
