The council considered acquiring private property through eminent domain to complete a multi-use path connecting the local Discovery Trail to the county's Burnt Bridge Creek Trail. Additionally, officials discussed purchasing a 2.7-acre parcel to expand the Fairgrounds Community Park. This parkland acquisition aims to improve pedestrian connections and future trail access between the fairgrounds and Whipple Creek Regional Park.

34:47 So it's a very aggressive timeline, but it's doable. And I think that's all I have for you. So any questions you have? Great, thank you very much. Did you want to add something? Yeah, if I may, before council deliberates, this project is a little bit unique. It does exist in our adopted TIP. It is in Clark County right of way. And Laura mentioned the city. They are involved in this uniquely as kind of the sponsor of this project. So it is being funded by some grants. And the city funds are covering the remainder of that. Our match and contribution to this project is in the right of way acquisition and the environmental permitting. So it's an exciting joint project for us, connecting those two trails and making safer conditions. Thank you. Questions? Sure. Go ahead. Yeah, thank you. Could we go back to the map?
35:45 I just want to do big picture for the people watching, just so if you could kind of describe the connector, the two trails that are being connected, where this property is, if it's the only property left to satisfy the connection that you want to make. Just kind of want to walk people through, if say they were traveling on this trail, where these different projects are going to be located. I don't know if there's a way to follow with that line, but it looks like we're connecting two trails on the west and east. I'll do my best. So if we start where the leader is for this project, that's approximately where the crossing would be from Hazel Dell east to Hazel Dell west. So yeah, thank you. So going westerly from the leader of project, you can see this green thin line that goes easterly. That is the Discovery Trail.
36:44 And it's a well-used trail. And then there's an overpass through Hazel Dell over the I-5 that will connect down and drops down into Hazel Dell Avenue. And it just truncates. It stops there. And approximately 1,000 feet north of along Hazel Dell traveling to the west is the Burnt Bridge Creek Greenway.
