Safer, better connected, and more accessible trails and infrastructure networks are a boon to everyone’s quality of life, no matter one’s identity or location. Investments lift outcomes for an entire community’s public health, economic development, and environmental resilience. Our work and strategies should not limit this all-encompassing benefit from any community member.

Non-partisanship: We want to work with all people who see the potential for these widespread benefits.

Projects are stronger and can be more holistic when they consider a wider scope of community assets and community partners. While some projects will likely only benefit their immediate, local surroundings, most projects should consider previously published regional plans, neighboring amenities, and the opportunity to partner with a variety of jurisdictions.

Completing infrastructure projects often takes an exorbitant amount of coordination, time, and money. Thus, a lot of patience is required for people who must sustain the will to pursue projects across a changing landscape. We will work to be as helpful as possible in all circumstances, refraining from pinning any discouragement on a specific person or group, but instead doubling down on energy for the next opportunity.
