Background
-
Construction of Phases 1 & 2 of the Rails-to-Trails project is expected to be
completed by the end of Spring 2010. In order to ensure public safety along
the new Rails-to-Trails pedestrian and biking trail, the establishment of a set
of rules is needed. These rules, which will be referred to as "Trail
Etiquette" along the trail, will promote safe use of the trail for all users.
-
Analysis
-
The proposed trail rules are a result of research of similar trail projects and
input from several other CCG departments. Trail rules must be adopted by
ordinance in order to be enforceable by the Columbus Police Department.
