I would rather run a circular route rather than an out and back. We will talk about this <br /> at the next P &R meeting, which is why I am drawing course lines in August. <br /> Teresa: Please put this discussion on the agenda. <br /> I know the graphic shows the 5K on 20th Ave. There is a trail along 20th and we will keep the runners on the <br /> trail as they turn off of Center Street. I do not want to approach the PD until we talk about it in committee and <br /> have a firm plan. The police concern that I see is that there would be a 3rd crossing of Centerville Road. We <br /> would have to have at least 3 officers, one at Main, Meadow and where the trail crosses Centerville Rd near the <br /> mayor's house. <br /> Ben: We are going to keep the 8K. We have done it for 5 years and I do not think doing a 7K would impress <br /> many new runners. Unless the committee objects (they won't) we will also keep a 5K. That was pretty popular <br /> this year and may be our best chance for growth. <br /> I do agree that capitalizing on the lake is our trump card. Some other communities also have lakes, but we are <br /> doubly fortunate to have the lake and so much park land. <br /> So a circular or out and back course remains the issue. Thanks to both of you for your ideas. We will see what <br /> happens with P &R. <br /> On Aug 28, 2013, at 2:56 PM, Teresa Bender wrote: <br /> <image001.png> <br /> i <br />
