Description/Analysis
Issue Detail: Staff seeks City Council approval to name two trails in North Natomas along the West Drain Canal and Creekside Canal to "Fisherman's Lake Parkway" and "Redbud Trail," respectively. Currently these trails are known by the community by different names because there is no official name. The naming effort began as a community effort through North Natomas Jibe (formerly North Natomas Transportation Management Association). The naming of the trail would provide a new and consistent name for the entire length of each trail.
Policy Considerations: The recommendation is consistent with City Council Resolution No. 2008-0112, which established the Policy for Naming City Facilities, including bike trails.
* Facilities which may be named include parkways (trails)
* Public facilities may be named for distinct geographic, environmental or developmental feature.
The proposed trail names reference the natural attributes in the area, specifically the fowl who feed on fish in the nearby bodies of water and the distinctively vibrant small trees.
Economic Impacts: Not Applicable.
Environmental Considerations:
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA): CEQA only applies to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. The requested action is not a project under CEQA.
Sustainability: Not applicable.
