Good Morning, 
One of the ideas that I had for the Low Carbon Transit Projects was
to create walking paths throughout the census tracts that connects
residents from park to park and transit stop to transit stop. 
Also, encourage collaboration with organizations to compete for the
allocated funds to support submitted projects. 

Thanks

Trails Are Important to All of Us
PATH trails are used by a larger percentage of the community and
require less long-term maintenance than ball fields, tennis courts,
and other park facilities. In addition to preserving greenspace and
providing alternative modes of transportation, PATH trails also:

Encourage health and well-being
 Whether trail users are walking, riding, skating or rollerblading,
they are on their way to a healthier lifestyle.

Promote public safety
 Thousands of people use PATH trails from dawn to dusk every day.
When more people are outside and keeping an eye on their
neighborhoods, perpetrators are less likely to commit crimes.

Increase real estate values
 Living next to a greenway trail is a distinctive amenity that
boosts property values. Trails preserve open space and make nearby
homes more attractive.

Spur economic development and neighborhood revitalization
 PATH trails are an important catalyst for new residential and
business development in the communities they serve.
