Typically, . <br /> bicycle trails are constructed of bituminous pavement with a black seal coat <br /> finish. <br /> a. Surface Finish I <br /> One way to enhance the appearance of the bituminous trail would be to . <br /> use red rock with the final seal coat. The red rock would provide the <br /> trail with a more distinct appearance, in contrast to a black, bituminous <br /> surface and it would give the trail a "warmer look" which will make it -. <br /> appear more bicyclist and pedestrian "friendly." <br /> Recommendation # 1: TRAIL SURFACE FINISH . <br /> Use red rock as a surface finish for the regional trail to enhance its I <br /> appearance. <br /> I <br /> b.
