Janet Tidwell, director of parks and recreation, presented a scope to hire Dunaway Associates LLC to develop conceptual alignments and a Phase 1 construction project for an East Addison trail connecting Monfort Road to Wynwood Park. Tidwell said the trail master plan identified the corridor as one of the last opportunities to capture natural corridors within Addison and emphasized preserving about 40 mature trees on the finance department property that will be vacated when finance staff relocates to Town Hall.
