Jeff stated he met with staff this afternoon and discussed several trail issues that included proposed trail connections, a Town Center pedestrian over pass, and connecting Wargo Nature Center to the county trail system with a boardwalk. Jeff suggested that if the Park Board is open to the idea of relocating the Behm' s Century Farm Park, it should be discussed with residents at the Master Planning meeting. The advantages of moving the park north include the park being more centrally located and it would open up linear trail connections .
