The City Administrator reported <br />that he suggested a map be drafted showing the finished <br />trails, and using this map, the Commission prioritize <br />the trail links to be completed. <br />Morelan pointed out the recommendation to abandon the <br />powerline trail from Payne Avenue over to Pioneer Park. <br />Morelan stated he realizes it could be quite some time <br />before that connection is established, but he would <br />19 <br />
