Hale briefed the Council that as part of the original plans the project included trails. One stumbling block to constructing the trails was in the lack of adequate right-of-way for full width trails. The City Planner forwarded to the Council copies of pages from the adopted trails. Trail requirements were ten foot width with boulevard areas. Hale explained, as the highway plan exists today, trails cannot conform to the approved trail plan. Councilmembers discussed the various legs to the highway with trails. After consideration, the members believed priority areas were from Kalland Drive (Westwind) to intersection of County Road 37 and 19; along County Road 37 the intersection of CSAH 37 & 19 to Lachman Avenue NE; and Lachman Avenue NE to Burlington Northern railroad tracks. plan the the from from The Counci I considered right -of -way widths and coul donI y approve trails where sufficient right-of-way width existed.
