(from Chester Town Plan)
The town should:
• Encourage the development of educational and cultural opportunities for all residents.
• Support community-wide cultural events and activities.
• Encourage and maintain a safe, convenient, economic and energy efficient transportation network.
• Develop and maintain good recreational plans and infrastructure to provide recreation opportunities for all residents and visitors.
• Ensure public access to important natural and scenic resource areas for recreational use.
Public and private indoor and outdoor recreation opportunities are a vital part of the Town's economy and quality of life. Publicly accessible recreation opportunities should be enhanced where possible, and should not be significantly diminished. Designated recreation areas should retain their recreational value to the public; where development would reduce recreational opportunities, alternatives should be provided whenever feasible.
