TRAILS FOR THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY. PLANNING, DESIGN, AND MANAGEMENT MANUAL FOR MULTI-USE TRAILS

A new kind of public space is making its appearance across the country. As thousands of miles of abandoned railroad corridors, former canals and other unused transportation routes are converted into multi-use trails nationwide, it is imperative to recognize their unique qualities. For many communities, a multi-use trail serves as a close-to-home recreational area that can accommodate a range of users including equestrians, walkers, bicyclists, joggers, cross-country skiers, hikers, parents with strollers and bird watchers. This manual is designed to help with the step-by-step process of planning, designing and managing a multi-use trail.
