Plan the places people use.

Where the gaps are

Ask people to mark the missing connection, the closed gate, the unsafe crossing, and the trail that stops. Gaps are the most actionable input a trail plan can receive.

• Categories for missing connections, barriers, and trailheads
• Point and area comments
• Results mapped for the plan exhibit

Trailheads, destinations, and use

Knowing which trailheads people start from and where they are trying to reach shapes both design and signage.

• Trailhead and destination categories
• Comments on the places people avoid
• Optional neighborhood field to see travel patterns

Recreation preferences

Programming and facility decisions need a ranked preference, not a list. Ask people to allocate a limited budget across the options.

• Priority allocation and ranking questions
• Facility preference questions
• Comparison across neighborhoods

Open space and conservation trade-offs

Access and protection pull in different directions. Present both, explain what each choice means, and record what the community would accept.

• Scenario comparison
• Education content published with the question
• A clear summary of the outcome
