During a recent government meeting, Councilman Cooper discussed an important amendment to the contract for engineering services related to a bridge replacement project. The initiative, supported by ACOG funding, aims to enhance connectivity in the area by constructing a 10-foot trail that will extend from Santa Fe to Western, crossing over I-235.

Cooper elaborated on the geographical implications of the project, noting that the new trail would connect 63rd Street to Classen, facilitating access to various neighborhoods and commercial areas, including Whole Foods. This development is expected to significantly improve pedestrian mobility and community access.

Additionally, the council is exploring further funding opportunities through TAP to extend the trail to the Deep Fork Trail, which is currently under construction. This extension would create a comprehensive network for residents, allowing for easier movement throughout the region.

The meeting also touched on other agenda items, with Councilman Stone requesting a deferral on items AS and AT, indicating ongoing discussions and considerations within the council.
