Enid staff details Heritage Hills trail design during public hearing on state grant application
Summary
City staff presented the Heritage Hills Walking Trail project during a public hearing on a Recreational Trail Program grant application, describing a concrete trail connection from Crosland Park to Willow, current design status (90% complete), utility coordination needs, and an estimated two‑month bid period and roughly four months for construction once funded.
City staff and the grant writer presented details of the Heritage Hills Walking Trail during a public hearing on an application to the Oklahoma Tourism and Recreation Department's Recreational Trail Program. Staff said the project would install a concrete trail connecting Crosland Park to Willow through an easement behind Heritage Hills and described the project as 90% designed with utility coordination (gas and communications) underway.
During the presentation staff described the proposed trail as 'approximately 23,100 foot long' and 10 feet wide and noted pictures of the corridor and the HOA‑maintained area where the trail would fit. Staff advised that, if funding is secured, bidding would take about two months and construction would be roughly four months. Because this agenda item is the grant application hearing, the commission opened the record but did not vote on the grant at the hearing; staff noted the funding request will appear on the consent agenda (item 7.7) for formal approval once the application process is in place.
The presentation emphasized connectivity benefits—to Oxford, Crosland Park and local shopping areas—and noted the design team completed final 90% review and will finalize design details in the coming days. Staff identified drainage and utility coordination as work items to complete prior to construction.
Quotes from staff were limited to the presentation text and project description; staff repeatedly described stages of work and schedule rather than seeking immediate policy direction. Next steps are for staff to finalize design, coordinate utilities and return the funding request on the consent agenda when appropriate.
