The 2026-2030 CIP includes the county’s tentative plans for roads, <br />bridges, parks, land, trails, transit, and public facilities. The first year of this plan is included in <br />the County’s proposed 2026 budget. Each year Washington County staff sends the draft CIP to <br />its jurisdictions for review and comment. After review, the City of Hugo provides a comment <br />letter. There is one project in the County’s CIP in Hugo; the Hardwood Creek Regional Trail <br />Extension. The regional trail is constructed primarily on former railroad right-of-way. There is <br />an approximately one-mile gap in the trail where the rail line remains active. This project will <br />address the gap and extend the regional trail from 140th Street to the south County line. The <br />County CIP includes some trail improvements on 140th Street, however, it does not include <br />improvements to the trail along Fenway Boulevard. The CIP also includes a local contribution to <br />the project. Staff will present background information on the project and CIP and recommends <br />the City Council discuss and approve the comments letter. <br /> <br />M.1 Schedule Santa Party and Tree Lighting on Wednesday, December 3, 2025 <br /> <br />The City of Hugo will hold the fourth annual Santa Party on Wednesday, December 3, 2025, <br />from 5-7 p.m. at the Peder Pedersen Pavilion.
