Parks, Natural Open Space /Greenways and Trail System Plan <br />The Parks, Natural Open Space /Greenways and Trail System Plan shows a potential trail <br />crossing the northern part of the study area and continuing to the west. There is an existing <br />trail easement between two lots which was dedicated with the plat of the Woodridge Estates <br />neighborhood. Though the easement is only ten feet wide, a trail was paved in this easement. <br />The Trail System Plan envisions this trail as a connection to land to the west of Woodridge <br />Estates. Whether or not such a western extension is feasible, the existing trail does allow a <br />connection to Woodridge Lane, which then provides access to Woods of Baldwin Lake Park <br />to the north. An east /west, pedestrian and bicycle route through the study area would provide <br />a connection to a trail along Ware Road. <br />The parks plan also shows Natural Resource Protection Areas in the northeast area. These <br />are wetland areas that will be protected by existing wetland law or may be important plant <br />communities. The Natural Resource Conservation Areas in the northeast and northwest <br />portions of the study area are uplands with features that have high ecological value. These <br />areas should be examined for the potential for protection. A Natural Resource Enhancement <br />Corridor is shown to indicate that an area could be considered for a trail to connect the two <br />other areas. <br />Hodgson /CR J Master Plan page 12 <br />
