Future Paths For Grass Valley In Development
Grass Valley is launching the Future Paths initiative to bridge gaps in local walking and biking trails, utilizing a $500,000 grant to boost active transportation and safety.
At their meeting Tuesday night, the Grass Valley City Council was expected to approve a consultants’ contract to develop a plan to improve and expand bicyclist and pedestrian connectivity. Deputy City Manager Taylor Whittingslow says it’s through a half-million dollar grant the city applied for and received from the California Air Resources Board. It’s called “Future Paths Grass Valley: Everyday Mobility Connecting People and Places”…
Whittingslow says that document needs to be turned in to the
Air Resources Board by January of 2028. And when approved, the plan could be
used to apply for state grants for projects. She says examples of connectivity
gaps include the Litton Trail system and where it ends…
Whittingslow says this initiative represents a significant opportunity for the city to advance its long-term transportation planning efforts, by also identifying ways to expand safe routes to schools and establish a more connected network of active transportation facilities. She says about six months of public input is expected to begin in January.
