Policy RT-1.6 Preserve access to existing motorized-use trails and roads.
replies
Per the other comments on this.

"Continue development of the emergency evacuation plan for the County, and use it to identify what areas are in need of additional local roadway connections in order to improve community resiliency to emergencies."
replies
in reply to Dalton Mundhenk's comment
"Ensure streets and pathways meet established safety requirements to improve user experience and safety, and accommodate the growing presence of e-bikes."
replies
in reply to Dalton Mundhenk's comment
After looking at this again I think this can stay as it is. This policy doesn't have to specify working with towns as if it's required for the goal we already will.
replies
in reply to Dalton Mundhenk's comment
After reading it again lets get rid of the second sentence.
replies
in reply to Allison Morton's comment
I like the wording. Still could refer back to this as support for any future PUD amendments that may be necessary, as that was required for the development of the trailhead.
replies
in reply to Allison Morton's comment
Robert said this is something he heard from people in Montezuma as well. @Simon I think the wording Allison provided is perfect.
replies
Suggested Revision
"This area is also home to many forest service roads that provide vehicular access to backcountry, high-alpine areas. These roads provide important access routes, recreational opportunities, amazing views, and allow us to explore the extensive mining history of the area. Protecting this use is important to this area for both locals and visitors alike.
replies
in reply to Dalton Mundhenk's comment
Suggested Revision
Add "In environmentally sensitive areas, which require extensive restoration."
Remove sage meadows from this bullet point and just have "In or near open landscapes"
replies
Technical Edit
From SRPC, consider revising the "world renowned tourism".
replies
This is redundant with the recreation chapter.
replies
Make broad. For all riders
replies
in reply to Jessica's comment
Don't delete! Continue to support the goals of the wildlife working group and implement recommendations.
replies
This already exists. You can delete

in reply to Allison Morton's comment
Check this is in the land use section
replies
in reply to Allison Morton's comment
I think the first is too specific, but the second is good and supports existing code provisions
replies
New goal - new developments should avoid all wetland impacts
replies
in reply to Allison Morton's comment
Check for redundancy in the recreation chapter
replies
in reply to Simon's comment
Suggested Revision
nevermind, now the preference is SCOST
replies
Suggested Revision
Prefer OST
replies
Add providing and maintaining recreational opportunities
replies
manage user access to and maintain rec amenities?
replies
in reply to Dalton Mundhenk's comment
This is a good point. The Tenderfoot Mountain and landfill trail systems are an important multi-use recreational amenity in this part of the County and probably should be a 'key consideration'.
replies
in reply to Allison Morton's comment
Strongly support this. Very little parking in this area means that public access to vast areas of USFS land is limited.
replies
in reply to Katherine King's comment
Sorry wasn't thinking about this as the FLUM instead of as a current reflection of ownership, you can disregard. However, may want to consider labeling each of the land use maps as future land use maps for clarity.
replies
Most 'open space' is 'public land'. I wonder if less confusion would be caused by a different/more clear label for each of these, such as USFS land and 'Summit Co Open Space' ?
replies
in reply to Allison Morton's comment
Agree this would be a massive undertaking and signs are under many jurisdictions
replies
You are likely aware that this is already in progress.
replies
in reply to Allison Morton's comment
Do we want to add 'public roadways' instead of just County? Thinking about Copper 's traffic issues...
replies
in reply to Allison Morton's comment
I also think this is especially important in high density neighborhoods/multi-family housing areas.
replies
in reply to Dalton Mundhenk's comment
Agree - please add developing 'and maintaining' paved pathways (they aren't just bike paths) and key trail connections.
replies
Great addition.
replies
Change overcrowding to 'undesirable use'. There are places we want to concentrate use and places that should provide more solitude.
replies
Change to 'mitigate potential impacts...'
replies
in reply to Katherine King's comment
Sorry for the oversight - disregard all this because of RT-4. Sometimes it's difficult to see everything on the screen at once and put comments in the correct location.
replies
in reply to Allison Morton's comment
Agree. Suggest: through interpretive signage and collaborations with partners and municipalities.
replies
in reply to Katherine King's comment
This is for RT 3.3
replies
Delete programming. Add recreation management.
replies
in reply to Katherine King's comment
This would also tie in well to your last action item.
replies
in reply to Jess Potter Forsyth's comment
I think this is geared towards river, stream and lake access.
replies

replies
in reply to Jess Potter Forsyth's comment
I also think this could be better suited to the transportation section
replies
in reply to Allison Morton's comment
I actually think it's better to use the vague 'paths' so that it can accommodate both sidewalks and non-paved paths.
replies
Recommend adding a policy about balancing recreation needs with habitat and sensitive natural area protection. Lots of options to pull from in OSTMP.
replies
Recommend combining 1.4 and 1.5: Improve the Open Space and Trails Department's capacity to adapt to changing priorities and trends through sufficient funding and staffing.
replies
Will the significant route maps be updated and included in this plan? If not, should be a policy added to update them.
replies
in reply to Katherine King's comment
This is for the Goal - my comment bubble got moved to the wrong place somehow.
replies
Recommend changing to: Enhance recreational opportunities through the development, maintenance and management of trails and trail access points throughout the County.
replies
Change 'open spaces' to 'public lands' since we mean not just county open space, but all public land in the county regardless of jurisdiction
replies
in reply to Jess Potter Forsyth's comment
'the plan directly.'
