The Oregon Recreational Trails Advisory Council (ORTAC) will meet Nov. 20-21 in Astoria to review and discuss local, non-motorized trail plans and initiatives.

The two-day meeting will be at Alderbrook Hall, 4509 Lief Ericson Dr., from 1-5 p.m. on Nov. 20 (Friday), and from 9 a.m.-noon on Nov. 21 (Saturday). Both sessions are open to the public. Public comment periods are scheduled both days.

After hearing from north coast trail providers, the council will consider criteria for designating Oregon scenic and regional trails.

ORTAC was established by the Legislature in 1971 to advise the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department and to promote non-motorized trail recreation and development in Oregon. The seven-member council includes volunteer representatives from each of Oregon's five congressional districts. Members are appointed by the Oregon Park and Recreation Commission.

The meeting site is accessible to people with disabilities. Special accommodations may be arranged up to 72 hours in advance by calling 503-986-0655.
