Promote trail loop facilities as a priority for Promote trail loop facilities as a priority for funding and maintenancefunding and maintenance
Promote the development of a tri-city Promote the development of a tri-city masterplan to address additional connector masterplan to address additional connector trails to the looptrails to the loop
Long-Term Long-Term RecommendationsRecommendations
Given the opportunity to acquire easements Given the opportunity to acquire easements or right-of-ways along the loop, trails should or right-of-ways along the loop, trails should be designed preferentially for pedestrians be designed preferentially for pedestrians and cyclists (with exception to the Lafayette-and cyclists (with exception to the Lafayette-Moraga Regional Trail which should remain Moraga Regional Trail which should remain managed as a mixed-use trail)managed as a mixed-use trail)
Adopt preferred bicycle lane width standards Adopt preferred bicycle lane width standards for facilities and implement them along for facilities and implement them along existing Class II facilities or pending existing Class II facilities or pending easement or right-of-way acquisitioneasement or right-of-way acquisition

ConclusionConclusion
► Recommendations were made to promote Recommendations were made to promote both short-term and long-term both short-term and long-term improvements to the trail loop.improvements to the trail loop.
► The feasibility for using GIS and widely The feasibility for using GIS and widely accessible data to plan additional connector accessible data to plan additional connector trails to the trail loop was demonstrated.trails to the trail loop was demonstrated.
► Consideration of this project by the Consideration of this project by the Lamorinda cities can hopefully bring the Lamorinda cities can hopefully bring the region a step closer to being a walkable and region a step closer to being a walkable and cyclist-friendly placecyclist-friendly place
