Commission hears delayed trail work on Hansen property; Murray property access remains limited
Summary
Members said trail-building on the Hansen property is postponed because key volunteers are unavailable and approvals from conservation partners are required; the Murray property has a trail but limited parking and access from private land.
Commission members discussed public-trail work on the Hansen property and said construction has been delayed because the volunteer who was to start the trail hurt his foot and because seasonal conditions and farming schedules limit when crews can work. A member said the trail alignment is known and that materials for a small bridge over a swamp could be funded by CPC once approvals are in place.
On the Murray property, members said a trail exists but access is constrained: parking is limited and parts of the former Murray land are privately owned, so the trail can only be reached from an identified street access point. Commission members urged clarity about access points and noted that open-space stakeholders have discussed options but nothing is finalized.
