The Chesapeake Trails and Connectivity Plan (TConn) is focused on developing a rich network of open spaces, trails, off-road natural paths, greenways, recreational waterways, and water access points throughout the City of Chesapeake. This plan will expand upon the Comprehensive Plan, specifically sections related to making pedestrian and bicycle improvements, developing new trails, as well as making blue and green connections accessible to all residents.
The TConn will capitalize on Chesapeake’s unique and numerous waterways and landscapes, diverse ecosystems, and an array of natural and cultural resources, ranging from the future Historic Village in Deep Creek to Historic South Norfolk or the Chesapeake Arboretum. TConn will strive to connect Chesapeake residents to these assets and work to further improve connectivity throughout our City. Residents will have ample opportunities to provide their input on planning the future of trails and connectivity in Chesapeake. The TConn is anticipated to be completed and presented to City Council in summer 2024.
