Understand how each project fits into the broader Blue-Greenway and Bay Trail multimodal trail network.
Learn about how each project addresses sea level rise and other issues of resiliency, including flooding, water-use and maintenance.
Study construction details and materials for each project that address site-specific issues of wind exposure, salt spray, wave action etc.
