He felt that there would be very little <br />thru-traffic through the remainder of the site and would be destination-oriented. <br /> <br />Chair Mesich asked Mr. Frank to explain where the sidewalks and trails would be. <br />Mr. Frank indicated that there would be a sidewalk along 3rd Street to Tyler, along <br />Tyler there would be a sidewalk on the west and a trail on the east. and on <br />County Road No. 12 the trail would switch to the north side at the residential <br />development. <br /> <br />Commissioner Chambers questioned if renditions of the home improvement <br />center and Wal-Mart were available.
