Parks, Trails & Recreation Committee – October 21, 2025 Page 3 Council Liaison Rousseau isn’t sure. She thought it was going to be built at the same time. She will get clarification. Committee Member Nazir Ahmed asked if the trail is a County or City project. Council Liaison Rousseau said it will all be County. Committee Member Rogers asked if the Highway 10 Trail will begin in 2027, or if that is when it is expected to be completed. Council Liaison Rousseau said it would begin in 2027. She asked how long the other portion of that same trail took to complete. Committee Member Rogers said once construction began, it was about six months. Council Liaison Rousseau assumes it will be completed within the year construction starts. Committee Member Loosbrock asked if pushing the trail will cost the City more. Council Liaison Rousseau said the cost of those types of projects aren’t increasing the same way other things are. The biggest difference is the County will pay a substantially larger portion which could save the City $200,000. Committee Member Rogers asked when the PTRC should begin talking about their feedback on projects. Is it six months prior to the project? She believes the PTRC have given feedback in the past that didn’t go anywhere. She wants to figure out how to bring some of those old items back to see if they can gain traction. There is a tricky turn lane on Lake Valentine Road. That road is heavily traveled by high schoolers. She said a trail there is confusing. It would be nice to know when they can anticipate an open house or discussion regarding that. Council Liaison Rousseau said there was an open house regarding the Old Highway 10 project. She isn’t sure what the next steps are for outreach surrounding that. She will check into that. Committee Member Loosbrock asked if there has been a design submitted, other than the information at the open house. Council Liaison Rousseau said that is the last time she remembers seeing any updates on that. She feels the design is about 80% complete. Committee Member Johnson said there is a trail being installed by her neighborhood on the west side of 51. The open house is this week. It is supposed to be built in spring of 2026. Discussion ensued regarding how the feedback provided at open houses isn’t always implemented. Committee Members discussed reaching out to different groups and county commissioners to give their feedback. Council Liaison Rousseau summarized the items she will seek additional information on and said she will report back when she has some answers.
