This funding could be used to support urban and rural bus service, large scale bike lanes and paths, and improvements for pedestrians. This revenue will be divided to leverage state local dollars to complete large and small projects, support interregional transit projects like Bustang, and distribute funds to local governments specifically for multimodal projects.

Trail Plan Presentation Jeff Temple and Adria Ucero, from J.U.B. and Ryan Abbott presented the Trail Plan. They discussed progress to date and recommended option 4 which would run on the west side of Boxelder Creek from Washington Ave. to Cleveland Ave. and cross over to the east side of the railroad tracks and continue south to Jefferson Ave. Issues discuss • Easements and concerns from property owners. • Approval from CDOT, Burlington Northern Railroad Company and Windsor Ditch Company for ability to cross their properties. • Research needed to define where the property lines are along the railroad tracks. • Crossing signals on Cleveland Ave. • Location of the ditch crossing south of Washington Ave The team suggested that this project be broken into two phases. The first phase would be from Washington to Cleveland and could be started this year. The second phase would be from Cleveland to Jefferson because additional work is needed. The Board liked the alignment of option 4 and suggested the team move forward. The next step would be to review with the Parks Advisory Board and then bring the final design to the Board of Trustees. 2.
