Trail Information
City Administrator Greg Mills explained to this board that the City would like their input on new trail concepts, alignment, and what its view is on what to
have, and not to have. Greg explained these critical decisions would be given to the Board of Alderman for review.
Travis Hoover, City Engineer presented information on the proposed
Jumping Branch Trail. Travis used a visual map on the City’s overall trail plan and another conceptual location of the Jumping Branch Trail. The main trail would follow Kansas City Sewer
Department’s main trunk line along Jumping Branch. This portion has been leveled out and cleared to the extent of placing a new trail along and above the Sewer main. The new trail would
be built with the standard 10 foot wide concrete trail with 5 foot mowing shoulders on both sides.
An alternate trail on the upper part of Jumping Branch would connect a loop along
the southern border of 50th Street from the trails Northern point and connect back into the main trail as stated above.
The board stated that they approve the original trail route and
make the alternate as funds are approved at a later date. If the acquisition of land for the original trail hampers this project, use the alternate route.

board members were wondering what their term limits were? City staff will investigate this and forward to the board members.
