He will send copies of this report to members of the Park Commission's Bike/Hike <br /> Trail Subcommittee (White, McMillan, and Flint). <br /> Wilson suggested the sub-committee review the plan and flag important issues. <br /> Flint reported that a meeting was recently held between Moorse, Mn/DOT, and Doug <br /> Bryant of Hennepin Parks. Moorse informed Flint that Bryant was satisfied with the <br /> resolution of the interchange at Co Rd 6 and Hwy 12. The Council, at their last meeting, <br /> authorized Staff to go ahead with the bike/hike trail as planned. Flint noted that Kelley <br /> asked that the neighbors be contacted regarding the trail. <br /> The trail will be constructed as far as $100,000 will allow. This funding consists of a <br /> 50/50 split between the City and the DNR grant money. Flint said it is the hope of the <br /> Commission that the money will build the trail to the City hall area. <br /> 1 <br />
