Summary

County staff reported a maintenance contract is being drafted for the Flyway Trail, the trail routing may include a railroad crossing (pending Office of the Commission of Railroad signoff), and trash cans and increased mowing have been added to reduce washouts.

Committee member John Hadley reported that a maintenance contract for the Flyway Trail is being prepared and that county staff are pursuing a railroad crossing so the trail would not have to run along the highway edge.

County Administrator Lee Engfer said meetings with the railroad have led to plan modifications and that the Office of the Commission of Railroad will provide final signoff; no opposition was reported in the minutes. The record also notes operational improvements: trash cans have been added at several locations and mowing has been increased to stabilize grasses and reduce washouts.
