2040 Comprehensive Plan: Envision Shakopee

Promote trail use, connectivity and construction, including local and regional trail systems » » Consider trail proximity and potential for connection in all site planning and road improvement project planning » » Participate as a leader or stakeholder in regional and state trail systems planning efforts » » Promote trails in city communications » » Rebrand trails, as necessary, to boost their value, usage and regional draw. Start by renaming and rebranding of the amenity currently referred to as the Drainage Trail. Collaborate with public and private groups to ensure consistent, high-quality trail maintenance » » Apply for and secure funding to build and maintain trails » » Promote, initiate and/or support volunteer groups to aid in regular trail maintenance such as trash pick up, debris removal and safety monitoring » » Promote and/or initiate formal commitments from organizations and groups to aid in trail maintenance. This could function as an Adopt-A-Trail programs that becomes an extension of the city’s existing Adopt-A-Park program.
