Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: States in the Western United States are growing at rates outpacing the rest of the nation. This growth is placing pressure on communities to develop their current open space for residential or commercial use. As cities develop a comprehensive open space plans, several elements arise. One critical element is connectivity. This connectivity is most often realized in the form of greenways. In many cities these greenways contain urban trail systems that provide significant recreation and connectivity benefits. This thesis investigates the current recommended models used to plan for greenway, synthesizes them into a recommended model process, and analyzes case studies of four cities that have implemented urban trail systems against this model framework. The case studies include cities in the West with populations between 50,000 and 100,000 that are not part of a greater metropolitan area with demonstrated planning and implementation of urban trail systems. This selection provides the most relevance to smaller cities in the West that are beginning open space planning efforts. Developing a recommended model process will aid smaller communities in planning for greenways by providing a step-by-step process from concept to implementation. This guide can provide a roadmap for communities that do not have experience with these planning models and can be used by citizens and non-planning professionals as well. Three critical factors arose that were common to all case studies. First, the need to follow a trail-specific planning process. The communities studied had all made efforts to plan for trails apart from their general or comprehensive plans. Second, the planning process must have a robust public participation process. This ensures that community needs are met and buy-in is achieved for the implementation process. Lastly, the early identification of trail corridors is essential to the long-term planning process. This ensures that there are no surprises for the community when implementation begins. These factors should receive particular attention from communities wishing to develop urban trail systems.

Book excerpt: "The Tigard neighborhood trails plan seeks to improve opportunities for walking, bicycling and using transit in the City of Tigard by creating and formalizing short, unofficial neighborhood trail connections to provide for more direct travel. The term used for these facilities in this project is 'neighborhood' trails or paths. Neighborhood trails are variously referred to as desire trails, path connections, community trails, urban trails, informal trails, short trails, cut-throughs, pedestrian passages, and access ways. While the primary facilities for walking and biking in the community are the on-street network of bike lanes and sidewalks and the off-street greenway trail network, neighborhood trails can help to provide critical connections in many locations." --Executive summary introduction.

Download or read book Urban Green written by Peter Harnik and published by Island Press. This book was released on 2012-07-16 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For years American urban parks fell into decay due to disinvestment, but as cities began to rebound—and evidence of the economic, cultural, and health benefits of parks grew— investment in urban parks swelled. The U.S. Conference of Mayors recently cited meeting the growing demand for parks and open space as one of the biggest challenges for urban leaders today. It is now widely agreed that the U.S. needs an ambitious and creative plan to increase urban parklands. Urban Green explores new and innovative ways for “built out” cities to add much-needed parks. Peter Harnik first explores the question of why urban parkland is needed and then looks at ways to determine how much is possible and where park investment should go. When presenting the ideas and examples for parkland, he also recommends political practices that help create parks. The book offers many practical solutions, from reusing the land under defunct factories to sharing schoolyards, from building trails on abandoned tracks to planting community gardens, from decking parks over highways to allowing more activities in cemeteries, from eliminating parking lots to uncovering buried streams, and more. No strategy alone is perfect, and each has its own set of realities. But collectively they suggest a path toward making modern cities more beautiful, more sociable, more fun, more ecologically sound, and more successful.
