Resolution No. 18-158, adopting the revised 2018 Connectivity Plan in concept; passed December 4, 2018.
Purpose & Explanation
The Connectivity Plan is typically updated every 3-5 years. The most recent Connectivity Plan was adopted in 2018. The following recent activities have led to consideration of an update to the Connectivity Plan:
• Hurdles encountered with implementation of trail/state funded projects
• Limited avenues for public input
• Veterans Trail is evolving/changing
• Private development has been key to sidewalk/trail extensions
• Difficult to implement impactful sidewalk extensions under current limited funding structure
The 2018 Connectivity Plan was a citywide plan addressing sidewalk and trail connections with a broad mission statement to “provide safe and practical community-wide non-vehicular connectivity in the City of Hudson”.
