The public process utilized the Parks Board, a technical advisory committee, community workshops, community visioning, an online survey, and an interactive map. The process had involvement of hundreds of participants. None of these actions are being taken at this time. This is a non-project action. The Master Plan seeks to create an accessible, diverse, and safe trail and bike system that offers places for active recreation, community connection, and equitable access to destinations and opportunities. The Plan is based on the community input received and drives 80 proposed projects intended to increase user comfort and reduce traffic stress to encourage walking and biking throughout the city. A map showing the existing and proposed system is attached (Exhibit 2). PART TWO: ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW In compliance with RCW 43.21C.240, the following environmental (SEPA) review addresses only those project impacts that are not adequately addressed under existing development standards and environmental regulations. A. Environmental Threshold Recommendation Based on analysis of probable impacts from the proposal, staff recommends that the Responsible Officials: Issue a DNS with a 14-day Appeal Period. B. Mitigation Measures None C. Exhibits Exhibit 1: Environmental Review Committee (ERC) Report Exhibit 2: Map of Existing and Proposed Trails and Bicycle Network D.

Comments of Reviewing Departments The proposal will be circulated to City Department Division Reviewers and appropriate agencies.
