Mayor Strommen acknowledged that a plan is not always to document what is, but what the plan for the future is. She recognized that the City would want users to come through The COR and the businesses rather than attempting to cross Highway 10 at Ramsey Boulevard. She commented that this is an important connector and would give a better impression of the community. She stated that the community has a great treasure with Mississippi West and the City should make an effort to reflect that within the plan and acknowledge the river roots of the community. She stated that she is not concerned that the plan will reflect something that is not there today. Councilmember Shryock agreed that this would bring a lot of opportunity to the community and development in The COR, as the community has a rural feel near amenities and would be a great location for the terminus of the trail. Councilmember Kuzma stated that while he is concerned with the expense, he does acknowledge the benefit that this would provide. He recognized that this would not commit the City financially and would open the door to grant funds and therefore would support the project.
