MLTPA GIS Inventory Contract (MLTPA GIC)

Project Description: On August 16, 2006, the Town of Mammoth Lakes approved a resolution to contract with MLTPA for completion of a "comprehensive map and inventory of all trails and points of public access between the Town's urban limit, the Town boundary and the surrounding public lands." Thus, the MLTPA GIC (MLTPA GIS Inventory Contract) -- a direct result of MLTPA's presentation of the Mobility Plan Resources Report to Town Council and the Planning, Tourism & Recreation, and Public Arts commissions -- was born. Presently in its fourth iteration (most recent updated on April 20, 2008), the MLTPA GIC has provided critical baseline data for the 2009 Trail System Master Plan update and has proved to be an invaluable tool in neighborhood district planning and the assessment of development projects and other planning efforts in Mammoth Lakes.
