Mayor and City Council Members <br />Water Works Property Trail Development <br />Page Two <br />usage. Additional concerns about loss of wildlife in the corridor due <br />to trail development seem unwarranted given the amount of existing <br />usage. <br />For those who feel that we have too much recreational development in <br />general, including trails, the following statistics taken from the <br />Little Canada Residential Survey, April, 1988, are a clear indication <br />of the residents' support of trail development. These statistics <br />include: <br />*45% of the residents used existing trails; <br />*67% of users of Spooner Park used trails; <br />*70% of residents favored expansion of the trail system, <br />(38% of residents favored expansion of trail system <br />even if it resulted in a tax increse). <br />These statistics make it clear that trails are important to the residents <br />of Little Canada and we would urge you to support our recommendation to <br />develop the Water Works trail as part of our trail system. <br />
