The identified trail additions expressed in the grant application are the proposed trails within Veteran's Athletic Complex. I have enclosed a map of the proposed trails for your review and a further understanding of the scope of the project. These trail additions have been identified as critical to eliminate the need for residents living in our southern and southeastern portions of the City to travel either by bike, foot or other means on Spiral Boulevard which is also occupied by large tandem thick traffic or by utilizing the very narrow and busy Miiulesota State Highway 316. h~ addition, these trail additions would extend our very popular loop trail system. To become eligible for this grant, the grant application requests a resolution from the Hastings City Council supporting the grant application to be enclosed as part of the grant application. I am seeking authorization from the City Council to submit this grant application on behalf of the City and that by your authorization you are supportive of the enclosed resolution. If I, on behalf of the City of Hastings, am notified we have been awarded any funding, I will bring this information to the City Council's attention at a future City Council meeting for further action.
