HOW TO USE THIS BLOG

This blog site works similar to a web page. There are links to information such as websites, pdf documents ets. However, a blog has a feature called "Posts". These can be identified in a blog by their title which is usually a date stamp such as "TUESDAY, APRIL 1, 2007". At the bottom of each post there is information on the author of the post, date and a link for comments. The comment section of the blog is the feature that gives a blogsite its strength and functionality. As an interested citizen and user of the blog, you can provide valuable feedback on issues. You can also view other citizens' comments and respond to their questions or comments.The comments are moderated by the creator of the blog. This is primarily done to avoid profanity from being posted on the site.To post a comment, click on the link "comments" below the post you wish to comment on. A dialog box will appear similar to creating an email. Type in your comments, enter the word verification (security measure to keep spam out), pick your choice of identification and click "publish your comment". This sends your comment as an email to the moderator who will then post your comments on the blog. Visit the site as often as you like to see if others have responded to your comments or if you have additional comments to add. Happy blogging!
Note: The latest/most recent items are on top and the oldest are at the bottom. You can also search the blog by using keywords such as "Vision", "survey" etc. The search bar is on top of the screen.

RECOMMENDED PLAN

The need for trails and Natural Areas (Open Space) in and around Oak Harbor has been established by the public through the survey, input at hearings and open meetings, and requests to the Parks Division. Therefore the Recommended Plan for 2008 Parks, Recreation and Open Space focuses on these aspects.


The Recommended Plan provides different strategies to achieve interconnectedness within the City and outside the City. Within the City the Plan recommends the use of the existing street system to provide connectivity. The strategies for new development includes nodes and connectors.
