These include Census Tracts 1409, 1413, 1414, 1415, 1416, 1417 and 1421. The northern edge of the City (Census Tracts 1410 and 1411) and the southern half of the City (Census Tracts 1420, 1422, 1423, 1425, 1426 and 1427) feature relatively lower household sizes. Related Planning Initiatives There are several related planning initiatives that are significant in terms of their relevance to the provision of recreation within the City of Pontiac. Each initiative is described in further detail below. Oakland County Parks Strategic Plan 2008 The Oakland County Parks Strategic Plan provides a tactical approach to the continuation and development of future park and recreation activities and serves as a guide in future acquisition and improvement of parks, recreation facilities and programs. The Strategic Plan was developed through community input, staff and key leader interviews, review of existing documentation, and analysis of County Recreation Commission operations. The 10-year vision consists of various goals and implementation strategies related to land, recreation facilities, programs and services, and operational and financial sustainability. Oakland County Parks and Recreation Master Plan 2007 The Oakland County Parks and Recreation Department completed a Parks and Recreation Master Plan in March 2007. The purpose of the plan is to guide recreation and planning efforts through 2011 and to meet necessary MDNR standards for eligibility for grant programs. The Master Plan includes an overall description of the County and overview of the administrative structure and financing for the department, an inventory of County Parks, a needs assessment and summary of public input, goals and objectives, as well as a capital improvement plan and implementation strategies. Oakland County Trails Master Plan The Oakland County Trails Master Plan (2008) was developed to provide a framework for creating a connected system of greenways and trails throughout Oakland County. This non-motorized system is envisioned to serve a diverse range of users, providing safe and well-maintained linkages to important natural, cultural and civic destinations and other points of interest within and outside of the county. The development of the Trails Master Plan was overseen by the Oakland Trails Advisory Council, Oakland County Parks and Recreation Department and Oakland County Planning & Economic Development Services. These agencies serve in a leadership role in the development of a connected non-motorized system, but rely on the determined efforts of numerous local municipalities, trail commissions, friends groups and property owners for trail implementation. The Oakland County Pathway Concept Map, included on the next page, illustrates the vision to link pathways and greenways throughout Oakland County. All of the ex- 49
