Legislative History

Connectivity Plan was first completed and reviewed by City Council in 2013. 

Resolution No. 14-12, adopting the Connectivity Plan in concept; passed February 19, 2014.

Purpose & Explanation

City Staff from the Engineering, Parks, Public Works, Police, and Community Development Department conducted four meetings over the past several months to prepare an update to the Connectivity Plan for City Council discussion.  The establishment of the Connectivity Plan in 2013 created a method to map and prioritize the desired sidewalk and trails segments within the community.
