Statement: The 2002 Parks, Trails, and Open Space Plan recommends acquiring public right-of-way along the Talent Irrigation Ditch (TID) for trail purposes. These proposed easements are within that targeted area. |
| 0 |
Background: For over two years, the Ashland Woodlands and Trails Association (AWTA) has identified and worked with private property owners along the TID to survey property lines and to identify possible trail connections.
In that time, five property owners have offered pedestrian easements over their property for use as trails. Each of these easements will allow legal public use of the ditch trail by the public. The easements are in compliance with the spirit of the Parks, Trails, and Open Space Plan adopted in 2002.
The proposed easements have been reviewed by the Parks Commission and recommended for approval at their regular meeting on July 25. |
| 0 |
Related City Policies: The policy of the Parks Commission has been to actively seek agreement or purchase of land as identified in the 2002 Parks, Trails, and Open Space Plan. |
