Urban Forest. The trail allows snowrnobiles in the winter, but is otherwise non-
<br />motorized. Under snow, the trail is shared by cross country skiers, snowshoers,
<br />snowmobiles, dog walkers, and other users, During warrner months trail users include
<br />walkers, joggers, equestrians, and bicyclists.
<br />The trail counter proposed for the Cle Elum entrance to the Coal Mines Trail can be
<br />mounted at various heights, depending upon the demographic being counted (e.g.,
<br />horse and rider vs pedestrian), or could be combined with a portable trail counter to
<br />track multiple demographics and/or locations. For example, all users might be
<br />counted by placing trail counters could be placed at multiple heights in one location,
<br />or the city could determine how many users Enter the trail via the Denny Ave
<br />connection (60+ home community) versus the downtown Cle Elum entrance. This
<br />trail counter could assist the City with gathering important information to share with
<br />the Coal Minss Trail Commission, the County, and the City of Roslyn as well.
<br />Dog Park - lone'term countg!
<br />The Dog Park trail counter would be located just inside the park's entrance-only
<br />gate and be programmed to only count park users adjacent to the entrance to avoid
<br />picking up people on the walking paths. This data collection will assist with reporting
<br />out visitor use, and alongside the planned survey station to be located within the
<br />park's sign kiosk, the City will be able to determine a count of overall park use and
<br />where users came from, in addition to other information useful to current and. future
<br />park maintenance, event planning, promotions, and reporting.
