Building trails can help conserve property against commercial development.

Building trails in urban areas does provide alternative transportation, as they are frequently designed to connect people to sidewalks and other resources.

Building trails is a relatively inexpensive and low-impact method of providing outdoor recreation, which is an important service of government especially in urban areas.

Building trails provides people an opportunity to connect directly with the outdoors. Without that connection, people may not care to conserve undeveloped land.

Thanks AJC, for exposing yet another Dekalb fail.
