Humboldt County Trails Plan
A Sub-Element of the General Plan
Section Five: Planning Recommendations
- Maximize various methods for trails acquisition, development, and maintenance
which lead to the establishment of trails at little or no cost to the County.
- utilize a maximum of community-contributed services (volunteerism) and user
funding for the acquisition, development, and maintenance of trails within
the County system, particularly community trails.
- Reserve available trails program finances primarily for those project features
which can not be provided through volunteerism or special services programs.
- Provide methods so that actual trail users may contribute a more proportionate
share for the establishment of trails and related support facilities.
- Charge a reasonable user fee for use of special bicycle storage or transport
facilities used in mixed-mode (bicycle-bus) travel in order to help offset
associated costs.
- Construct bicycle shoulders along designated bicycle routes as general road
improvements are being made. particularly where grade and/or sight distance
limitations impede safe route use.
- Orient bikeway development to the improvement of on-street (Class II-III)
bicycling conditions rather than off-street (Class I and IV) routes.
- Give priority when implementing school access improvements to those projects
which serve additional functions of transportation and/or recreation.
