Sidewalks and Trails Task Force
The Sidewalk and Trails Task Force, formerly known as The Sidewalk and Trails Advisory Committee, was created by Resolution No. 71-01 on June 5, 2001. At the July 15, 2003 City Council Meeting Resolution No. 102-03 was passed changing the name of the committee to "Sidewalk and Trails Task Force".

They are also responsible for adopting Sidewalk and Trails Master Plans. Recommendations relating to trails are forwarded to the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board. Recommendations relating to sidewalks are forwarded to the Transportation Division.
