Description

Designed as a multi-use path suitable for walking and mountain biking, it provides a scenic and accessible route linking neighborhood streets to the surrounding open space network. The name "The Approach" reflects both its function as a transitional connector and the mountaineering theme of nearby streets such as Belay Point, Bivouac Point, and Carabiner Street. In climbing, the approach is the meaningful journey that leads to the main objective—an appropriate metaphor for a trail that connects residents to broader outdoor experiences.
