For a number of years now,
Dr. Rick Bonart has been pointing to the
Summerlin development in Las Vegas as a model for development that preserves natural open space and provides recreational trails for property owners and others. It is a model of what could happen along the Mountain to River Trail (the Ann Morgan Lilly Trail/Arroyo 41A) as well as all other future developments in our vast and beautiful desert.
In fact in 2008
American Trails more than validated Dr. Bonart's vision.
Summerlin was one of their National Trails Award
developer recipients. The award was brought to my attention by Hugh Osborne who just recently moderated the Stakeholders' Meeting for 41A.
In an earlier
Elpasonaturally post, I included a link to the Summerlin site because Dr. Bonart had mentioned it to me.
