CDC recommends $5,700 SPI study to estimate cost and alignment for priority trails
Summary
The board approved a recommendation and funding agreement to engage SPI for a $5,700 cost-estimate and alignment study of priority trail connections (Briar Hill, Unity Park, district trail), including analysis of a potential railroad crossing; study timeline estimated at 3–4 months.
Board members recommended entering a funding agreement to hire SPI for a $5,700 study to develop cost estimates and alignment options for priority trails, including the Briar Hill Trail connections, a Unity Park realignment to move walkways away from the parking lot, and a district trail connection. Staff said the SPI scope includes analysis of whether an additional railroad crossing would be needed and that engineers will evaluate safety concerns raised during the meeting.
A committee member moved to recommend proceeding and explicitly include a funding agreement with the city; the motion was seconded and carried. Staff estimated the SPI study would take about three to four months. "They will analyze that," staff said when asked whether the proposal included study of a railroad crossing; "the engineer will take that into account" for blind-spot mitigation near the restroom, a board member added.
