Connecting Communities via Local & Regional Trails

Local trail systems are consistently rated a top-tier community amenity. Trails link neighborhoods, open spaces, parks, and commercial areas, and afford residents opportunities for recreation and exercise in a safe environment near their homes. Regional trails enable citizens to travel longer distances, generating recreational and transportation alternatives for people of all ages. An engaging discussion between experts from Trust for Public Lands, Lakewood Ranch, and Viera will offer insight on best practices for development of community and regional trails and explore ways to use data to guide policy and incentives for trail planning and implementation
