The Humboldt County Regional Trails Master Plan is a long-range planning and resource document to promote the development of an active transportation system in Humboldt County. The plan compiles active transportation information identified through previous planning efforts and documents the community’s vision for improved non-motorized access within and between communities. Also included in the plan is a constraints analysis, based on interviews conducted with local jurisdictions, to ascertain regional coordination and trail development obstacles.
The Regional Trails Master Plan was prepared as a resource document for local entities to facilitate active transportation system implementation in Humboldt County.
As the lead consultant, Planwest Partners compiled pertinent information from existing trail planning documents; conducted stakeholder interviews with staff from the seven incorporated cities, the County and Tribal governments; and evaluated trail development obstacles and implementation strategies. Alta Planning + Design prepared a trail candidate project prioritization matrix and funding source information to assist with successful project development, as well as trail design guidelines to provide regional trail design consistency.
