The Community Survey on Walking and Biking Trails is now open!
The City of Highland is developing a Sidewalks and Trails Master Plan. They want to make our city a more walkable community, and with over 7 miles of bike trails, Highland is home to more city owned bike trails than any other city in the Metro East, and we'd like to know how you think we should expand on this community asset.
Please take a moment to complete this survey and share your thoughts and priorities.
