Kalona council directs staff to continue MSA trail designs and report phase cost options
Summary
Staff presented trail designs created by MSA Engineering; the council directed staff to continue with MSA and to return with final cost comparisons for completing the trail in one phase versus two phases.
Kalona — The city’s Trails Committee designs, prepared by MSA Engineering and presented to the council on Jan. 7, 2026, were received and reviewed by city staff and council members. Staff said the designs reflect input from property owners and committee meetings.
Council members directed staff to continue design work with MSA and to come back with a final cost comparison for building the trail in one phase versus two phases. No formal commitment of construction funds was made at the meeting; the direction was to refine design and cost information to support future budgeting and procurement decisions.
The action keeps the project in the design phase and asks staff to provide a clearer scope and cost estimate for council consideration.
