The Town of Mammoth Lakes has announced the delivery of the TOML Trail System Master Plan Final Draft (2009).

This update to the 1991 Trails Master Plan has a strong focus on providing facilities that will improve access to trails from all nodes of transportation. In addition to new trails, paved pathways, soft-surface trails, signage and wayfinding, and associated amenities, the plan recommends action to improve sidewalks, crosswalks, bus stops, bike lanes, bicycle parking, summer maintenance, and snow removal.
And it wouldn't be here without you! "The final draft of the plan was a true labor of sweat equity and passion," says Tourism & Recreation Department Director Danna Stroud. "We wish to thank all parties who gave of their time and expertise in helping to deliver this quality plan which will help Mammoth’s evolution of becoming a premier recreation destination."
Visit MLTPA's TSMP 2009 Final Draft page to download your own copy of the plan and its appendices. Bound hard copies of the plan are available for viewing at the TOML offices (above Vons), the Tourism & Recreation Department offices (next to the Welcome Center), the Mammoth Lakes Library, and the MLTPA offices (42 Davison #5).
