Report
Summary
Dedication of a multi-use trail is required for the Western Canal Project along Central Avenue from 4th Avenue to 24th Street, which aims to re-integrate canals with surrounding communities by providing a pathway for improved visibility, access, and use of the canal system; and by incorporating public art, landscaping, and neighborhood access points. The improvements will enhance commuter and recreational routes for bicycle and pedestrian traffic along the canal bank for safe crossing at street intersections, and for access to a park-and-ride site.
