The resident claimed the city mowed a path through this area and <br />maintained it as a natural surface trail years ago. Residents now utilize this ROW for walking and biking <br />through the neighborhood to get to the trail along TH 10 and Upland. <br /> <br />Staff could not find any evidence this area was ever maintained as a trail. It would require a lot of work to <br />clear the corridor and transform it to a natural surface trail. <br /> <br />Staff recommends not proceeding with this request since it does not appear in our trails master plan and <br />we usually don’t maintain trails on grass ROW’s. <br /> <br />Financial Impact <br />N/A <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> 188th Avenue ROW
