Trails and Greenways: Beyond the Path

Join Rails to Trails Conservancy for the third installment of our TrailNation Spotlight webinar series, featuring the nationally recognized multidisciplinary design firm, SmithGroup. The session will explore their approach to working with communities to plan and design trail systems that are sustainable, accessible, and connected to local destinations, while also supporting broader community revitalization. Their work can be seen on notable trails including the Dequindre Cut Greenway , the Detroit Riverwalk and many more. SmithGroup will also be featured instructors at the Summit, for the “Overcoming Barriers to Trail Network Implementation” master class. Their work on the Cuyahoga County Lakefront Access Plan in Euclid will be highlighted in the “Restoring Access, Building Resilience: The Euclid Lakefront Story” mobile tour.
