Community Path Networks

Community path networks form the basic infrastructure to provide the public with reasonable access throughout their area. By linking key ammenities and recreational opportunities, these paths provide an opportunity to reduce dependency on vehicular travel and enable easier access to the environment. COAT's work to improve community path networks has involved upgrades to or construction of the following paths:
