trail system, trail design standards, funding issues, and recommended trail projects and action
items, has now been incorporated into the 2013 Paved Recreational Trail Master Plan (the "Trail
Plan"); and
WHEREAS, a copy of the Trail Plan is on file in the Office of the City Clerk and
available for inspection; and
WHEREAS, the Trail Plan was reviewed by the Commission on Disability, Land
Conservation and Stewardship Board, Natural Resources Advisory Board, Parks and Recreation
Board, Senior Advisory Board and Transportation Board, all of which recommended adoption of
the Trail Plan; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has determined that the Trail Plan meets the objectives of
the Transportation Master Plan update and Plan Fort Collins; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has further determined that the Trail Plan is in the best
interests of the City and should be adopted.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
FORT COLLINS that the 2013 Paved Recreational Trail Master Plan is hereby adopted as a plan
of the City; provided, however, that the order of construction of the projects described on page
