Black Hawk Lake Trail moves into the next phases
October 3, 2011 – Lake View, Iowa
In this audio we hear the council approve two resolutions that authorize the city administrator to apply for grants to get funding for phases two and three of the Black Hawk Lake Trail. These two phases of the trail, particularly the portion in the Provost may limit parking along the road as they are shoulder trails. Because they have authorized the administrator to apply for the grants, this does not mean that they have approved the construction of the project. It was specifically pointed out that they will need to work with the property owners whose land they will have to cross.
Following are those resolutions:
