The Milton City Council has approved a Community Trail Prioritization Plan to guide the city in placing future trails and sidewalks.

The plan follows a 16-month process involving public comment, target groups, an online survey, meetings of the 25-member Milton Trails Advisory Committee, and field trips to the Crabapple area, Deerfield district and Lackey Road greenspace preserve, according to a city announcement.

Community Development Director Parag Agrawal said the plan has four priorities: New trails and sidewalks in the Crabapple downtown area; ditto for the Crabapple commercial district; safety for walkers, bike riders and horseback riders; and looking at potential trails in city-owned green space, specifically the nature preserves at Cooper Sandy and along Lackey Road.

Recent additions to the plan include statements about possible public-private partnerships, and partnerships with land trusts, officials said. Information: https://bit.ly/3aBw5bn
