Much of the landfill area is designated Open Space. The northern part of the landfill area is designated Park. South ofHwyi 10, the Puma/Hwy. 10 Commercial area continues approximately halfway to the river. A s~nic easement forms a landscaped buffer between this Commercial area and the Single Family ~esidential along the river. This buffer could allow for a fiver corridor trail to connect the nearer neighborhoods with the riverfront park downstream and with the Commercial ar~as. This would contribute to river corridor trails recommended for the Critical Area. The trai! would serve as both a recreational and commuter trail.
