Additionally, NHCPC has worked with the City to prepare a mobility plan in 2004/2005 that identified community desires related to a pedestrian trail system throughout our neighborhood, a plan that identified and prioritized public improvement activity as it relates to pedestrian movement. We enthusiastically support the City's application to Caltrans for an Environmental Justice grant to develop a comprehensive non-motorized circulation plan, and will assist the effort in any way possible.
