The county council approved negotiating the purchase of a 0.7-acre parcel to expand the future Anderson community park and provide a safer visitor entrance away from a busy intersection. Additionally, the council authorized the initial steps to acquire private right-of-way for an 800-foot pedestrian pathway along Hazeldale Avenue. This project aims to build a safer sidewalk connection between the city-owned Discovery Trail and the county's Burnt Bridge Creek Trail.

What was said
1:52:06 The second resolution would set a public hearing for June 2nd, my goal is not to see you on June 2nd. But that would initiate the, that would be where you would direct the PA's office to initiate that. And we're trying to get this all wrapped up by the first part of August so that we can get that certification. That is an important trigger for us because that releases the construction dollars for us to deliver that project. >> That's kind of it, got any questions? >> Are there any questions? Go ahead, Councilor. >> Is the sidewalk slated for the west or the east side? It must be the west, because that's where the homes are. >> Yes. >> It's the west side. >> All right, and it can't go on the east side, that's not a feasible option? >> I believe that is not feasible. >> Okay. >> Yeah, when we looked at both, it doesn't make sense. >> We looked through this when we went on the bike tour.
1:53:03 And I appreciate you working with the city on this, because we have amazing trails on both sides of this intersection here. And this horribly clunky, inadequate connection between the two. So this is really a great project for the county and the city both. >> One of the things, if you think about coming southbound on Hazelville Avenue, putting the connection on the other side, takes the foot traffic all the way up to any traffic traveling southbound on Hazel Avenue. The site distance is pretty short coming around that corner. >> Yeah, that makes sense. >> So that's one of the main reasons, but I'm not sure if there are others. >> Okay, yeah, I mean, to me, this serves a significant community need and a benefit to the community. And certainly hope that we can work things out with this property owner and that everybody can win out of this. But I would support moving forward at this time. >> Thank you. Any other questions?
1:54:03 Seeing none, I'll entertain a motion to approve item four. >> I so move item four. >> Okay. >> Aye. >> Thank you. Is there a second? >> Second. >> Moved and seconded. All those in favor say aye. >> Aye. >> Motion carries. >> Thank you, council. >> Thank you. Okay, and here we are at item five. Jennifer Daniel is coming up to tell us about this one, and maybe Ken can introduce it.
