Residents ask boards to prioritize shade, exercise stations and neighborhood workshops for trails
Summary
During public comment residents urged a focus on trail amenities — shade, trash cans, exercise stations — and better outreach; consultants noted amenity locations appear as dots on the map and can be detailed in later design phases.
Several public commenters asked that the project incorporate local amenities and not focus exclusively on long-distance connectivity. Bob Sanderson urged low-cost exercise stations and more amenities along the trails to support health and fitness, saying many residents use the paths for recreation rather than transit.
"I use the trails... I just saw [the meeting sign] yesterday," Bob Sanderson said, encouraging broader communication and amenity investments. Other commenters asked for shade, more trash cans, and clearer signage at access points. Consultants confirmed the larger exhibit indicates amenity dots but said specific amenities will be refined in later design phases and through neighborhood workshops.
The boards noted the comprehensive plan already identifies amenity locations for FM 407 and said they will include amenity details in future alignment and design work.
