We think (trail improvements) ties in nicely with this planning concept. There's a lot of history along the trail.

I think the process is moving along nicely and has moved along nicely in the past six months or so. I think we're at a resolution.

I think all the improvements are good, basic improvements that will get us through the next four to five years.

When I started, there were just a few miles of trail; now we have over 60 and are always planning on adding more.

I'm a big runner and I pick up the trail at the bottom of the street. We have a family of five and go down to the Raccoon River Park to run around, and right now, we have to get there along the shoulder of the road, so completing the trail will improve our safety, be more convenient and keep my shoes from getting muddy.

I'm still getting more familiar with the plays and different things, but I think that will come along with getting more experience and getting to know the guys better.
