In December 1988 , the Pathway Master Plan was adopted. During the fall of 1989 , the Pathway Committee was reorganized .

She stated the contract has been signed for Bryant and Kerr Road pathways . Ron Timpe said the Committee currently has a modest amount of dollars each year for pathways . Currently, they have received • about $95 ,000 for pathways each year , one third of which has gone for staff and administrative costs . A discussion followed on a few concepts of the Pathway Master Pian. All routes are corridor routes . Exact locations , or type of pathway will be determined at the time of implementation. There are many types of pathways. For example : Iron Mountain Boulevard , along one side of a road , and Kruse Way where a buffer exists between pathway and road. The Committee is considering off road asphalt pathways in aesthetic pleasing natural areas . Public Testimony Gordon Hall 2851 Lakeview Member of Lakeview Association Lakeview is left off Pathway Plan and needs to be considered for a pathway. The road is narrow and dangerous .
