Trail Connections Clause Samples
The Trail Connections clause defines the requirements and responsibilities related to linking a development or property to existing or planned trail networks. It typically specifies the standards for constructing access points, pathways, or connectors that integrate with public or community trails, and may outline who is responsible for the costs and ongoing maintenance. This clause ensures that developments contribute to broader connectivity, promoting accessibility and recreational opportunities while clarifying obligations to prevent disputes over trail integration.

B. to the east of the Tuscarora Creek Trail segment within the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Bluff subdivision (currently terminating at Infantry Drive), along an alignment to be determined by the Planning Commission at the time of preliminary plat approval.
C. The parties agree that the connections contemplated above shall be consistent with the City Trails Plan and the Frederick County Bikeway and Trails Plan effective at the time of Final Annexation.
D. The parties further agree that if acquisition of public right-of-way from third parties (including, but not limited to Frederick County, Maryland) is required to construct the shared use path and to make the contemplated connections, then the City shall make reasonable efforts to acquire such right-of- way. If the City has not acquired the required right-of-way within one (1) year of the applicable Preliminary Plan approval, then the Owner may proceed with the Project with the shared use path shown on the Property under its ownership/control, with only Staff level amendments required to conform the applicable Preliminary Plan, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the LMC.
