My quick win: wayfinding signs. Start with the major trailways (IHT, Spur Line, Laurel, etc) but carry on with other routes to places people want to go. If I want to get to the Boardwalk from the IHT, I shouldn't have to sit on a mapping website researching my route. There should be a clearly signed route that takes the safest/most direct route. This would also help make other improvements more focused as gaps in the network would then be readily apparent. There are a lot of trails that are relatively unused because people simply don't know where they go. How many people know you can get to Walmart on Ira Needles from downtown almost entirely off streets and with relatively few major road crossings? Instead, when considering cycling as an option, they're thinking about negotiating Victoria Street and Ira Needles Blvd., a far more intimidating prospect for your average person.
