Officials outline trail connection to Mac Porter Park with under-I‑35 crossing
Summary
Board members described a proposed 10-foot trail that would pass under I‑35 to connect to Mac Porter Park, featuring beacon (push-button) crossings and grant-funded design work; staff said public meeting materials are posted on the City of Kearney website.
Staff discussed a proposed trail-to-Mac Porter project that would create a 10-foot-wide sidewalk/trail to run under I-35 and connect to Mac Porter Park rather than routing on the road. The project would include push-button beacon crossings (similar to an existing high-school crossing) and aims to improve walkability and safety between neighborhood nodes.
Speaker 1 credited Public Works Director Sheila Daniel for grant work and said materials from a public open-house remain posted on the City of Kearney website for residents to review. Staff said the trail will improve connections from Old Church Plaza and other neighborhoods to park facilities.
