Greenspace Advisory Board Background Information
![](DSC_0062.jpg)
The City of Auburn stands at the threshold of significant growth. The City Council's longstanding commitment to the concept of improvement through planned change coupled with a history of interest in and concern about open space preservation led to the appointment of a "Greenspace Task Force" in October 1999. The Task Force was charged with making a report on the following items:
- to study existing sidewalk and open space conditions in the City;
- to consider funding sources and potential methods for future land acquisition;
- to propose a greenways master plan that identifies corridors for alternative non-motorized transportation and that enhances protection of environmentally sensitive areas; and
- to make recommendations for implementation of the proposed greenways plan.
This report was released in February 2001. The Greenspace Advisory Board developed due to a need to continue to perform these functions as the City of Auburn continues to develop and expand.
