Background/Discussion
A resident requested a section of road right-of-way (ROW) at 188th Avenue in the Island View
neighborhood be maintained as a trail. The resident claimed the city mowed a path through this area and
maintained it as a natural surface trail years ago. Residents now utilize this ROW for walking and biking
through the neighborhood to get to the trail along TH 10 and Upland.
Staff could not find any evidence this area was ever maintained as a trail. It would require a lot of work to
clear the corridor and transform it to a natural surface trail.
Staff recommends not proceeding with this request since it does not appear in our trails master plan and
we usually don’t maintain trails on grass ROW’s.
