The Introduction and Chapter 1: The Next Step for City Trails and Walking Routes from Robert Searns' book, Beyond Greenways: The Next Step for City Trails and Walking Routes

"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.’"
