Trail Standards
"The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." Andrew S. Tanenbaum (computer scientist)
This quote applies equally to trails. What standards to apply depend on the purpose of the trail, who the trail users are, the required protection of the trail, and many lesser criteria. The group decided to take a flow chart approach to deciding which standards apply, starting from a high level triumverate:
- Trail Purpose
- Resource Protection
- Trail Experience
