TOWN TO TEANAWAY:REGIONAL TRAILS SYSTEM <br />I <br />Ronald <br />-. <br />-Project Area <br />AREA$ENLARGED <br />Cle Elum <br />Figure 2:Map of the Towns to Teanaway Trail Corridor Master Planning Efforts (included as match for this grant) <br />The project area is a popular four season recreation area for biking,hiking, <br />horseback riding,snowshoeing and skiing.Existing trails in the project area <br />currently provide connectivity between the towns of Roslyn and Cle Elum and the <br />Cle Elum Ridge-top and the TeanawayCommunity Forest.Critical connector <br />pathways are in private ownership and access may be revoked at any time <br />depending on the landowner'swishes.Many of the existing trails are defectively <br />designed,in poor condition,unsustainable,unsafe and cause resource damage <br />and user conflicts.Signage is inadequate or non-existent. <br />The first phase of this project will be to focus on the acquisition of 243 acres <br />surrounding the City of Roslyn's Urban Forest and trail system and design and <br />plan a trail or combination of trails that would be safe,fun,accessible, <br />sustainable,and exist in concert with the natural environment.The proper <br />design and placement,along with the eventualprofessional construction of the <br />trails(s)(phase two)will produce an enduring recreational asset that will serve <br />the communityfor years to come.The key missing link in our planning efforts will <br />be the protection of critical corridors to maintain public access,providing <br />trailheadsin our local upper Kittitas County communities,and providing for <br />economic growth for local business that provide for recreational and <br />environmentaltourism.
