Connect our Community
One day, it will be possible to walk, bike, run and ski continuously around the City of Saratoga Springs - for recreation and transportation. Before we can achieve this goal we must determine how best to connect our community.
A coalition of local organizations has retained Alta Planning + Design to create an action plan for a Greenbelt Trail around the City of Saratoga Springs, NY. This shared-use Greenbelt Trail is being proposed to connect the City’s three existing rail-trails: the Spring Run, Bog Meadow and Railroad Run trails.
These projects have been developed as community initiatives over the past 20 years, and the idea of creating a city-wide trail system is included in the City’s Open Space Plan. The Greenbelt is being imagined as a 10 mile loop around the city for walkers, runners, bikers, hikers, cross country skiers, snow shoeing, dog walking and other trail uses.
