The Parks and Recreation Ordinance in Chapter 46 (B -2008-012, 1, 8-28-2008) ofMunicipal Code should include additional rules on trail use and maintenance. Inaddition, the ordinance should address the use of natural and conservation areas.
PARKLAND DEDICATION
Chapter 66 (sec 51 -58) of the Citys Community Facilities Policy, addresses severalissues related to Parkland dedication. These aspects could be strengthened:
Large, contiguous parcels should be dedicated during subdivision development.
Parcels of land should not be too close to streets or hazardous terrain.
New developments should have sidewalks that provide access to the main streetsand greenways.
Subdivision policy should also address the loop-and-lollipop street patternscommonly found in suburban housing developments.
