SUMMARY

PROJECT TITLE: Parks - Cap Sante Eastside Summit Trail Improvement

DEPARTMENT: Parks and Recreation

BUDGET CODE: CFP-PRK-00002

JUSTIFICATION: Improves existing service

START DATE (FY): TBD

END DATE (FY): TBD

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

Improve the trail leading from the summit down the east side of Cap Sante, past the old amphitheater and connecting near 5th Street. The trail has a stair case that was built in the 1930's that will need to be restored as part of this project.

recommendation:

Support funding of this project through donations or grants.

PROJECT OBJECTIVES / STATUS:

The east side of the city would benefit with a loop trail through Cap Sante to reduce parking pressures at the summit and encourage pedestrian corridors in this end of town. The recent improvements by the Rotary Club on Cap Sante have encouraged more users to walk to the summit. To make a loop on their walk they either need to walk down the road or use the unimproved trail on the east side. Improvements to this east side trail would be a benefit to this specific neighborhood and all the downtown residents who could connect to this path via the Thompson Trail and downtown sidewalk access points. It would also improve pedestrian safety by taking walkers off of this narrow road.
