The <br />Commission is specifically concerned about reviewing the possibility of including a detached <br />trail with the CSAH 1 project. The Pazks and Recreation Commission would also like to <br />install a turtle crossing with that project. I will be reviewing the pzeliminary plan set you sent <br />me with Bill Maertz and setting up a meeting ui the future to discuss specifics about this <br />project with you. <br />As the proposed County Road 33/77 project moves forwazd in the next yeas or two, we <br />would like to be involved early on in the process to look at detached pedestrian facilities and <br />the possibility of constructing a pedestrian tunnel for crossing these major roadways. When <br />appropriate please let me know and I can coordinate a meeting with you and your staff and <br />Bill Maertz and myself xegazding these projects. <br />In the future we would request that as projects are planned within the City of Elk Rives that <br />we are made awaze of these as eazly as possible in the planning stages so that we can likewise <br />plan and work with you and your staff to provide pedestrian facilities wherever possible. <br />Sincerely, <br />Terry J.
