if a •sustainable resource quality is to be achieved. Interrelationship of Greenways with Parks and Trails The conceptual idea of the greenway system as presented here is a natural outgrowth of the existing park and trail system plan for the city. The existing plan makes numerous references to the development of a greenway system for its natural values as well as providing the conduit for a city - wide linear trail corridor system. In many respects, the existing park and trail plan was part of the community visioning process that manifested itself in the 20/20 Vision Plan. The plan remains the basic underpinning for the park and trail system and should still be used as the basis for planning future parks and trails. Integrating the Greenway System with the Park and Trail System Plan The Comprehensive Park and Trail Plan and Development Guide for Lino 4 Lakes defines the overall plan for the city's parks and trails and establishes the parameters for its implementation. The plan remains the basic underpinning for the park and trail system and should still be used as the basis for planning future parks and trails As part of the planning process for this manual, the city -wide park and trail system plan was overlaid on the greenway system map shown in figure 4.2. This combination illustrates how the linear trail corridors and individual park locations can be effectively intertwined with the natural areas contained within the greenway system. Figure 4.4 illustrates this concept. As shown on the figure, the actual and conceptual location of existing and proposed trails are identified. The trails are broken down into two types, park trails and connector trails. Park trails refer to trails that are located in their own easement, in a greenway corridor outside of a road right -of -way, or in a •city/ regional park. Connector trails refer to trails that are typically 17ap ar &_Pszpsanov_Boap8_ Xcn_o6_ Alvo_ Awcsa 11
