14. Add "you are here" dots to the maps. Response: "You are here"references are typically included on trailhead maps out in the field. 15. Would a tunnel be feasible for Sunset/Elm,so you don't need so much ROW for the trail? Response: The County will investigate that option when funding is available. 16. Is there a way to partner on signage? Response: Yes, the County is more than happy to partner on trail signs. 17. Add some small parking lots along the trail. Response: While this option may be possible within County owned parkland, it would require additional right of way acquisition costs elsewhere along the trail corridor.

Clean the trails in the spring. Response: This comment was shared with county maintenance staff. 19. The biggest item in your propose budget is the bridge over 1-35W at Sunset. Sunset is a county road and it is in terrible shape.Can we assume that Sunset will soon be rebuilt. If so,will that bridge be replaced? Maybe a bike lane on a new Sunset/ 1-35 could be done at a more reasonable cost than the bridge you have pictured in your plan. Response:As outlined in the master plan, the County proposed to either include the trail when the existing vehicular bridge is reconstructed, or to provide a separate pedestrian bridge, if the trail cannot be included with the bridge reconstruction. 20.
