The Western Nevada County Master Trails plan draft has been released. It is now up to you to make sure it is accurate.There are some interesting aspects of this draft. For example, it specifies trail connectivity between Purdon Crossing and Hoyt Crossing (Highway 49) and Bridgeport. Imagine riding Washington all the way to Bridgeport? Connectivity is also specified between Round Mountain and Pioneer. Be sure to check out Appendix C.
As you may know, the county began this planning process early in 2009. The goal was to create a plan that detailed where trails are and where future trails should go. The latter is very important, as it will will guide necessary trail construction as development occurs in the future. In other words, if a potential trail is identified in this plan, any development that occurs within that corridor may need to facilitate new trail construction.

Darn. I wish I'd known about their online survey.
John, you're the Google Maps guy; is there a way we can mark up a Google Map to provide feedback?
(as someone who's commuted by bicycle, I have some wisdom to impart...)
And no email address for comments on the draft? (Note to Nevada County: we're not in the 1900s anymore)
John, I'm curious - do you read your comments?
Hi Anna, sure you can use MyMaps to create a map and share that with the county. As for email addresses, I generally don't publish those, as it attracts spam for the address.
