• Regional Trails (RT), connecting neighboring communities or regionally significant attractions.
• Community Connector Pathways (CP), link important land uses and areas of interest, into the regional system   
• Local Trails/Pathways (LT), connect neighborhoods to schools, shopping; trails within parks.

Please note: Conceptual connections listed may or may not be possible trail routes due to a variety of reasons - terrain, cost, land issues. These are just a suggested wishlist and will be researched/revised in the future.
