Staff briefed the committee on multiple trail projects and connector efforts, including the YMCA connector, Meadowbrook/Meadow Creek projects and a site-plan review in East McIntyre that could link the skate park, Botanical Garden and John Warner Parkway.
Committee members asked for clarification on which Meadow Creek segment was referenced; staff said the YMCA short connector (a dirt trail currently behind the fire station) is likely to be bid in spring 2027 after design revisions to reduce steep grades from 8% to 5% to meet ADA. Staff reported another long-standing connector near Meadowbrook Heights has land acquisition and a 30% design completed, describing it as "18 years of trying to work on that" before the deed was secured. The committee asked staff to confirm bid timing and funding needs when designs are finalized so BPAC can advise on accessibility and trail-connection priorities.
