Chattanooga Trails Connectivity

WMWA developed a series of master plans for three different clients to enhance neighborhood and regional trail connections, trailheads, and pocket parks. The South Chattanooga Trails Master Plan, East Chattanooga Connectivity Master Plan, and Lookout Mountain Conservancy Master Plan all aim to provide access to the outdoor spaces that make Chattanooga special and stitch together neighborhoods. The East Chattanooga Plan used ROW, City, County and Federal land to create a network of neighborhood trails and trailheads that create critical links between the surrounding neighborhoods with National Park Service lands and other points of interest. The South Chattanooga Plan created a series of sections demonstrating the character of the future Alton Park Connector, concepts for two pocket parks along the trails, and defined the best neighborhood links to connect multiple trail projects in the area. The Lookout Mountain Conservancy Plan designed trail heads and connections, a pollinator garden, and provided direction on steep slope vegetation management. All three plans addressed wayfinding and branding guidelines and concepts for the trail system.
