PRESCOTT VALLEY DEVELOPING CONCEPT FOR ‘LASSO LOOP’ RECREATION TRAIL SYSTEM

THE TOWN OF PRESCOTT VALLEY IS DEVELOPING THE CONCEPT OF A 24-MILE LOOP PATH TRAIL SYSTEM NAMED “LASSO LOOP,” ENCIRCLING THE TOWN’S CORPORATE LIMITS TO IMPROVE CONNECTIVITY INFRASTRUCTURE AND INCREASE TOURISM-RELATED ACTIVITIES, PART OF ITS STRATEGIC PLAN.

PRESCOTT VALLEY’S CONCEPT, CURRENTLY IN ITS PLANNING STAGES, WOULD INTEGRATE PAVED SHARED-USE PATHS, SOFT SURFACE TRAILS, BIKE LANES, WATERWAY CORRIDORS, AND HORSEBACK TRAILS. THE LOOP ALSO WOULD CELEBRATE THE TOWN’S HISTORY, CULTURE, TRADITIONS, AND NATURAL FEATURES THROUGH PUBLIC ART THAT COMPLEMENTS LANDMARKS AND WATER WAYS.

THE PLAN WOULD INCORPORATE BEST PRACTICES OF LIVABLE, SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITIES AND WOULD BE DESIGNED TO CONNECT EXISTING AMENITIES SUCH AS PARKS AND OTHER RECREATION AREAS. THE SYSTEM WOULD BE EXPECTED TO HELP ENSURE SAFE AND VIBRANT NEIGHBORHOODS WITH ELEVATED QUALITY OF LIFE AND ATTRACT ECONOMIC INVESTMENT AND TOURISM DOLLARS.
