Trails <br />Trails are a critical component of the Hugo Parks system and beloved by the residents. Table 6-7 — <br />Description of Major Trails and Greenways provides a description of trails that currently exist in the <br />community. Today, trails owned and maintained by the City are primarily constructed along roadways <br />because trail development along roadways allows for reduced construction costs, land that is more easily <br />acquired due to high availability of sufficient right-of-way and landowner acceptance of trails that are <br />integrated with the roadway system. <br />However, residents have expressed a strong need for a variety of trails that connect parks and natural <br />areas. They want trails where they can walk, hike, cross country ski and ride horses. Trails along roads are <br />not suitable for all trail users, therefore, there is a need for Greenways in the City. As neighborhoods grow <br />and new roads are constructed trails will continue to be developed.
