In response to Southsoundguy - The trails that are being discussed in this instance are shared use trails for walking and cycling. This includes the Yelm-Tenino Trail, Chehalis Western Trail and Karen Fraser Trail as well as a few others.
I didn't see anything in this article about a "centralized regional trail authority" and simply planning for trails and coordinating efforts is certainly not wasteful or fraudulent.
The Thurston Regional Planning Council is a good place for trails discussions since our trail system crosses jurisdiction boundaries.
We have a great trail system and it can be improved. It offers benefits for people who commute and for recreational walking and cycling. Trails happen to also help the businesses near the trail where people stop to have lunch, shop, or just get a snack.
