Chapter 04 � Master Plan <br />Trail Development Typologies and Trailhead Concepts <br />OVERVIEW <br />The Great Northern Trail crosses a variety of land <br />uses and transportation systems that require a <br />tailored approach to trail development. A set of <br />trail typologies or prototypes were developed to <br />address the complexity of existing conditions. <br />These seven trail typologies illustrate a simplified <br />version of how the trail might look after <br />construction. More nuanced site conditions <br />will require more detailed study during the next <br />phase of design, such as trail intersections, <br />the presence of wetlands, and interpretive <br />opportunities. <br />TRAI LH EADS <br />Five trailheads are proposed at roughly 5-mile <br />intervals to provide trail users with amenities <br />along the corridor. Amenities at each of the <br />trailheads differ, but at a minimum include <br />restroom facilities, bike parking, and wayfinding <br />signage. Trailheads are located at convenient <br />access points from adjacent neighborhoods <br />and major roadways. The Long Siding trailhead <br />provides amenities for motorized trail users as <br />well as bike and pedestrians. Four of the five <br />trailheads were advanced into concept design <br />and can be found after the trail development <br />typology section. <br />64 Great Northern Trail Master Plan � August 2022 <br />
