North Liberty approves city trails plan unanimously
The North Liberty City Council unanimously approved a citywide trails plan last night, with a parks plan tabled until Sept. 8 after a public hearing. The trails network focuses on eight foot sidewalks looping the city to connect businesses and parks while keeping maintenance costs down, with safe routes for students to be addressed as the plan develops. One resident urged expansion to include his neighborhood and a safer path to North Central Junior High. Mayor Salm noted ongoing work to create safe passage across Highway 965 for young riders.
