It's a legislative thing, either at the local or state level. Start with talking to the local and state legislators and greenways people. Politicians like to take credit for stuff that appears to be constituent-friendly that doesn't cost anything and for which they can tout at the next election as one of their accomplishments.

There may be some similar efforts already underway. Take a look at government resources, universities (departments of landscape architecture, ecology, city planning), and non-profit trails and land conservancy organizations. Here's a start. Good luck.

We have the "Highline Canal Trail" which wanders about 75 miles through at least 10 different jurisdictions, and is the service road for the now little used water in the canal. Gravel surface ("fines") for most of the way, some pavement, a bit of cement.

Highly used by walkers, joggers, bicyclers, etc., especially on weekends. This trail is about 30 feet wide for most of its distance.



Perhaps this might serve as an example? Do a google on Highline Canal Trail Colorado for more info.

So, are the trails planned going your way? Are you thinking of perhaps inserting yourself into the process? I'd love to work on a big trails project like that.
