A new "world class" tennis center is planned for 96th and Dillon and will include a <br />section of trail dedicated to the City. The P & R department would like to work with the <br />developer in connecting this section of trail to the regional Coal Creek Trail. <br />Why Is thisproject needed and how does it support City Council's goals? <br />New trails increase connectivity within Louisville as well as connections to adjacent City and <br />business properties, attractions, and regional transportation corridors. This improvement is <br />consistent with the Parks, Recreation, Open Space & Trails (PROST) Master Plan. <br />What benefits will this project produce or what undesirable consequences will occur if it is <br />not approved? <br />Continuingto improve Louisville's trail system heightens connectivity and the usage on <br />existing trails, lessens vehicle traffic if commuter routes are established, improves quality of <br />life, and creates pedestrian connectivity to green spaces parks and businesses throughout <br />(MaporPhoto) <br />Louisville. If desired trails are not implemented, people may use unimproved areas anyways <br />causing undesirable impacts to public and private property. It's important to lead the way in <br />creating sustainable, multi-purpose trails in the appropriate locations for the user as well as <br />for the environment. <br />What realisticoptions or alternatives have been considered and what are the pros and cons <br />of each? <br />Option is to delay or not develop this trail. <br />16 <br />
