Mr. Jordan is <br />going to create a trail to connect neighborhoods along Zumbro St and York Ave to create safe access, <br />so people do not need to walk on County Rd 44 or Highway 10. The City right of way is <br />approximately 60' x 700' and Mr. Jordan will clear a trail approximately 14' x 700' with a clearance of <br />at least 10' high. The trees are encroaching the trail so Mr. Jordan will identify which trees to remove. <br />He would like the city to fund grass seed and city property signs. He understands he will need adults <br />trained in chain saw use to assist him. <br />
