Commission members gave the following thoughts on issues brought up by staff.
• Commissioners do not want to extend the Library trail to Mississippi.
• The rationale to switching the trail from one side to the other on Meadowvale Road,
was traffic would be coming from the south and the property on north is undeveloped
and will be for an unforeseen time. The trail crossing should go under the road.
• Trail crossing at Highway 10 Bridge should be removed and crossing should be at
Proctor and Commission members believe it is undesirable at this time,and need to
discuss improving that option.
• Trail at Twin Lakes road switched to keep it consistent coming from the North and
chose CR13 to cross to access development.
• Add a conceptual trail at Kelley Farm to connect to River trail.
• Mark 165th as wide shoulder use for trails.
• Keep trail on east of Twin Lakes Rd and take out West side.
• Keep trail on west side of Proctor.
