Public input from two earlier public meetings and over 1,600 online survey responses indicated that people feel strongly about having opportunities to be active, explore nature, and get exercise. Results from the surveys tell us that people want paved and soft-surface trails, recreation opportunities that blend into the natural areas, and a focus on flood mitigation and natural habitat.
