Woodbridge resident asks county to add $5 million a year for trails maintenance and construction
Summary
A Woodbridge resident asked supervisors to include an additional $5,000,000 per year for trails maintenance and construction in the 2026 budget, citing the county strategic plan and an existing trails master plan.
Russell Bridal, a Woodbridge resident, used public comment time to ask the Board to increase funding for trails maintenance and construction in the 2026 budget.
Bridal said the county's 2025–2028 strategic plan includes objectives to "enhance and expand public parks, trails, and green spaces" and noted that the county currently has about 60 miles of trails with a larger mileage planned in the trails master plan. He asked that the 2026 budget include an additional $5,000,000 per year for trails maintenance and construction, and suggested funds could be reprogrammed from recently removed projects that had out‑year allocated funds and will not be executed.
Ending: Bridal concluded by asking supervisors to consider the request during the 2026 budget cycle; the Board did not take action during public comment, and the item was a request for budget consideration.
