This is a guide to envisioning, laying out, and promoting these routes and, in so doing realizing the benefits they offer--to facilitate, encourage, and enable more close-in walking, hiking, running, and trekking.... I really enjoyed reading this book. Searns' has a vision we can all get behind and one day we'll be able to walk out our front door and head out walking on a trail. What a beautiful day that will be. I used to say 'see you on the trail.' Today I'm going to start saying 'see you on your doorstep.', Bob Searns offers the prescription to treat what ails us: grand loops and town walks! He provides unique, practical insights on bringing walkability to absolutely everyone. He details an approach for communities of all sizes from urban metros to rural hamlets, including a focus on serving those residents who have been historically shut out of more costly and less accessible outdoor recreation., "Robert Searns, a trails and greenways planner, offers a fresh take on how to make cities more walkable. He calls for designing "grand loops" on the edges of cities and shorter "town walks," which are "branded, in-town walking loops" that tie parks, civic spaces, and neighborhoods together. These kinds of trails support good urban design that puts pedestrians' access to nature and street life first.", This is a guide to envisioning, laying out, and promoting these routes and, in so doing realizing the benefits they offer--to facilitate, encourage, and enable more close-in walking, hiking, running, and trekking.... I really enjoyed reading this book. Searn's has a vision we can all get behind and one day we'll be able to walk out our front door and head out walking on a trail. What a beautiful day that will be. I used to say 'see you on the trail.' Today I'm going to start saying 'see you on your doorstep.', I am thrilled that Bob Searns, a seasoned trails specialist with over four decades of experience, was inspired by South Korea's Jeju Olle and is introducing an exciting new vision for trails and walking routes. I wholeheartedly recommend his new book., During the global pandemic, the importance of urban trails became clear. Walking became a lifeline for people, providing both psychological and physical benefits. Places like New York and San Francisco already had great walking infrastructure, but many cities had to adapt and needed a plan. Beyond Greenways is a terrific resource that can help students, designers, planners, communities, and elected officials advocate for urban parks and trails in their communities. Beyond being a design manual, the book provides important examples and exciting case studies of trails in different environments across North America.

Synopsis
If your doorstep were a trailhead, how would you experience your city? With this newfound freedom, you might head in a new direction, walk to a restaurant in an area you've never explored, begin to savour your daily walk to work, or set out with a daypack to the city edges for fresh air and nature. Despite the known health benefits of routine walking, many people don't have pleasant, safe places to walk. Too often, street networks have barriers - cul-de-sacs, freeways, or busy, dangerous-to-cross, arterials. Many lack sidewalks at all. There is a clear need for high-quality, readily accessible pedestrian infrastructure in and around urban areas. In Beyond Greenways: The Next Step for City Trails and Walking Routes, greenways expert Robert Searns makes a case for walking infrastructure that serves a more diverse array of people. He builds on the legacy of boulevards, parkways, and greenways to introduce a next generation of more accessible pathways, wide enough for two people to stroll together, that stitch together urban and suburban areas. With more trails built near neighbourhoods that haven't had access to them, more people can get around on foot, in town or further out. Searns lays out practical advice on how to plan and design them, garner community support, and get them built. Drawing inspiration from the US and abroad, he introduces two models - grand loop trails and town walks. Grand loop trails are regional-scale, 20 to 350-mile systems that encircle metro areas, running along the edges where city meets countryside. Town walks are shorter- 2 to 6-mile routes in cities. Throughout, Searns presents examples that embody these ideals, from Tucson's Turquoise Trail, created by just two people with an idea and some left-over blue paint the city had, to a more deluxe 5-mile loop in Denver, to the Louisville Loop Trail in Kentucky, a nearly complete 100-mile grand loop. He also envisions these trails in new places across North America. Planners, trail advocates, community leaders and those who just want closer-in places to hike or walk will find the tools they need to develop successful and affordable plans, including how to envision them to fit various settings and strategies for implementation. Now is the time to think beyond greenways, to pursue a legacy of accessible pedestrian routes for this, and future, generations., If your doorstep were a trailhead, how would you experience your city?
