PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT The genesis of the City of Centerville's initiative to develop and implement a City-wide trail system comes from sessions held with the Minnesota (MN) Design Team. The MN Design Team is a group of architects, landscape architects and planners that meet with City officials, City staff and members of the public to develop a City vision. One of the elements of this vision was to have a more pedestrian friendly City, especially in the downtown area. The public's involvement in this visioning process was one of the first ways in which the public has played an active roll in developing this trail project. As part of the City's Comprehensive Plan update which has just been finished, the City developed a Parks and Trails plan. This plan identified existing and future trails and sidewalks. Throughout the Comp Plan update process, a number of public input meetings were held. Members of the public were invited to give comment on all elements of the plan, including the parks and trails plan. Throughout the development of this particular project, the Parks and Recreation Committee, Planning Commission and City Council have all held meetings and workshops which are open to the public. IX.
