About the Truman Linear Park Trail
The Truman Linear Park Trail, Phase 2 project proposes to connect the Phase 1 Trail (Police Memorial Trail) to Lake Mayer. Phase 2 is approximately 4.8 miles in length and varies in width from 8-ft to 10-ft. The path will consist of a combination of retrofitting existing sidewalk and a new 10-ft wide asphalt path. Canals will be crossed with timber bridges and wetlands will be crossed using timber boardwalks. The improvements also include upgrading intersection crossings to safely accommodate pedestrians. The current project schedule anticipates a construction contract being awarded in December 2014.
Written statements concerning this project will be accepted until Nov. 22 and should be submitted to:
