( from a press release)
As most of you know, The Fat Tire Trail Riders Club is leading an effort to formalize the Beacon Hill Trail Network, a mix of public and private ownership, for enjoyment for generations to come. Your input is needed to help with the planning for this trail system. Please follow the link below to answer a few questions and let your voice be heard! The questionnaire should only take five to ten minutes.
http://www.surveymonkey.com/BeaconHill
Note, this survey will be open for several weeks, so if you are coming to the races this weekend and want to do it next week, that's just fine.
Your feedback through this survey will be one piece of information that designers will be using in a workshop planned for the fall. A Beacon Hill Trail Connections “Charrette” (a fancy name for a design workshop) will take place at October 24-25, 2008. The charrette will focus on producing creative solutions for linking the Beacon Hill to local schools, city bike routes, neighborhood parks, Centennial Trail and other community treasures. It will also find ways to improve access and use of the trails. A Community Open House showcasing the design work, will follow on Saturday evening, October 25.
The Beacon Hill design workshop will be the eighth Community Design Charrette in a unique partnership between the National Park Service Rivers & Trails Program and the Washington Chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects. NPS Rivers & Trails has been providing technical assistance to the Beacon Hill Trail Group for the past 1.5 years. Landscape architects lend their expertise pro-bono, providing a huge design boost to these grass-roots community planning efforts. Previous charrettes have all resulted in positive results that turned good ideas into action including the recent I-90 pedestrian overpass, an outcome of the charrette hosted by Liberty Lake. Other charrettes have been in Seattle’s International District, Skagit County, Moses Lake, Wenatchee, Black Diamond, and Kelso. This year the Idaho/Montana Chapter has committed to join the Washington Chapter to provide assistance and designers to the Beacon Hill Trail workshop, making this a multi-state venture.
