Local trails are a great place for fun, recreation and transportation.

Follow these guidelines for respectful and responsible use of city trails, so everyone can enjoy them.

General:

• Respect the environment and the rights of property owners
• Don’t block the trail
• Travel at a safe speed
• Pass with care
• Bicyclists keep right except to pass
• Pedestrians keep left to face oncoming cyclists
• Be aware, look and listen
• Avoid covering both ears with headphones as it can be difficult to hear what’s going on around you—this is the law for bicyclists
• Establish eye contact when passing
• Look before switching lanes or directions of travel
• When you need to stop, move to the edge of the trail or trail shoulder and leave room for others to pass

Bicyclists:

• Stick to the right side of the trail
• Yield to pedestrians
• To pass, go to the left side of oncoming pedestrians/joggers
• Ride at a safe speed; single-file in congested conditions or in areas with reduced visibility
• Slower traffic has the right of way
• Slow down at bridges, tight turns, intersections, and when approaching others
• Use audible warnings when passing
• Use lights when dark
• Always wear a helmet

Pedestrians:

• Keep to the left side of the trail (facing oncoming cyclists)
• Watch for other trail users
• Maintain single-file in congested conditions and in areas with reduced visibility

Dog Walkers:

• Keep dogs under control and on leash: Dogs must be on a leash no longer than 6 feet
• Dog owners must clean up after dogs
• Dogs must remain on the trail at all times and are not permitted in open space or preserve areas
