RE: City authorization of trail construction to connect to Parks
Dear Neighbor:
Over the last three years, Albertville has discussed implemented a sidewalk and trail plan. Last year, the City's
. first attempt at additional trail construction ended with a rejected bid on the installation of trails within Parkside
Third. The decision while financially responsible, but disappointed many residents who had elected not to finish
their property with sod to the curb.
Throughout Jilly and August, Pilot Land Development Company worked with the City to rebid the walk
connections in order to have a more complete neighborhood that had safer connections to the park lands it has
dedicated over the last three years. With additional trail connections started along Karston Avenue, and along
Kahler Drive in the recently paved Center Oaks neighborhood, you can access future parks at the northern edge of
the Cedar Creek North and Karston Cove developments, as well as Cedar Creek golf course clubhouse along
Highway 18 or through the golf course on hole 7.
A satisfactory bid was received from Ohman Brothers asphalt of Albertville and on September 7, the City Council
authorized Pilot Land Development to formally contract with Ohman for the work. They will begin the job on
September 27 and intend to complete all walks within a three-week period. Any sod that is cut out to create the
pathway will be restored within 7 days of their paving completion.
Whiletrus project may not be everyone's choice as an improvement, it has been a growing element of the City
system .. of roads and pedestrian connections. The entire project is -within dedicated walkway easements and
existing road right of way.
Please identify and remove all obstructions within the area of the planned improvement prior to their job start. If
you have an irrigation system that is in this zone, at a minimum turn your system off and flag or remove the heads.
The project does not call for replacement of any irrigation components in the road right of way. Any heads not
removed will be salvaged but not guaranteed operable. The contractor has no intent to be careless. A sprinkler
system not turned off may create an unnecessary mess and does not need to be operational in late September.
I have enclosed a map of the planned improvements and sketches showing what the trail section is planned to be.
Any questions about the need for trails can be directed to City Hall. We believe that they will be a safe long-term
enhancement of the overall neighborhoods. Thank you for your assistance.
