Heritage Connectivity Trails – Phase 1 Project [1] [] Date: 2024-09 The Heritage Connectivity Trails – Phase 1 Study is a multi-agency cooperative effort with representatives from the Yakama Nation along with WSDOT, Washington Traffic Safety Commission (WTSC), Yakima County, Yakima Health District, Eastern Washington University (EWU), Yakima Valley Conference of Governments (YVCOG), and the National Park Service (NPS). These organizations recognize the need for improving pedestrian safety, multi-modal transportation opportunities, connecting communities, and broadening the regional trail system. A clear goal for the HCT is to connect existing partner plans, policies, and projects to create a seamless experience for future users of the HCT network. The Phase 1 Study covers approximately 23 miles along the US 97 corridor and is part of a larger project that is expected to create over 150 miles of multi-use paths in the lower Yakima Valley on Yakama Nation land.
