III.Pedestrian Trails program proposed amendment
Summary: Fresno COG has received a formal request from the City of Fresno (attached) to amend the current Measure “C” Pedestrian/Trails Facilities Subprogram. The purpose of the amendment is to modify the existing language in the Pedestrian/Trails Facilities Subprogram which restricts the use of funds to “new” construction of pedestrian trails, the development of a Master Plan and for retrofitting existing facilities. The proposal under consideration and supported by the City of Fresno was developed by Mark Keppler and John Wright, longtime community trail advocates. The proposed amendment policies preserve the commitment of the Measure C plan to building new trails but also provides the ability to provide maintenance in situations where additional outside funds can be leveraged. Included as an attachment is the draft Policy on Use of the Measure C Trail funds developed by Mr. Keppler and Mr. Wright and supported by the City of Fresno.
Action: Information/Action. Direction to be provided at the discretion of the Committee.
