Bentonville is developing a master trail plan
and is currently conducting a series of community meetings of volunteers
and planners. Drainage areas are a prime focus of the group since
those areas cannot be developed for housing or commercial property.
Several planned-unit developments have already developed trails
and the group is looking for ways to connect all of those trails.
One of the challenges will be to cross certain busy areas such as
Walton Boulevard.
Bentonville hopes to connect its trail
system to Rogers at two points, on Horsebarn Road south of the Northwest
Medical Center and east of the Northwest Community College.
