Walter Lathrop presented some projections for a bike/hike trail encompassing Midways #19, #15, #135 and connected to the Luce Line Trail. He said by widening the shoulders of liiese streets the cost of land acquisition could be held to a minimum by using the present hi^way right-of-ways. The shoulders would be widened 6' to acconplish this and covered with a mixture of clay and limestone, vdiich exper ience dictates was adequate for this usage. He felt this cwld be accomplished by 65t federal binding and 35t muni cipal. One drawback to the plan is that some filling of wetlands would be necessary. Some of the existing right- of-way would be through swanq)s. Widening the shoulder 6' would require some filling. Guthrie stated the concept fits in perfectly with the guidelines of our new comprehensive plan. All members reacted favorably.
