Mark the Sunrise and Sunset trails in 1/10 of a mile segments. This will assist trail users by more accurately addressing their exercise concerns and requirements. These markings will also help the DCTA pinpoint areas for improvements. These markings will be added to the trail maps. Preliminary markings are completed along Sunrise Trail, numbers need to be added.

Take pictures of proposed areas and identify exact locations by referencing the mile markers.

List all proposed areas for improvements and items needed at each location. (Including suggestions from trail users and adjacent land owners)

Prioritize the list. Pictures have been taken along Sunrise trail and trail head. Pictures need to be taken along Sunset trail yet.

Various bench styles, picnic tables, and trail marking designs to identify a design that is consistent throughout the trails system. The design should reduce maintenance concerns, increase safety, and blend in with the surroundings to make the least amount of visual impact as possible. Example, bench styles would NOT look like bus stop benches plastered with advertising. To reduce the chance of theft, benches could be mounted in ground using a post hole digger. See picture of example bench design.
