CENTRAL IOWA IS HOME TO 600 PLUS MILES OF TRAILS THAT CONNECT COMMUNITIES, PARKS, WORKPLACES AND SCHOOLS AND PROVIDE AN EXCELLENT ALTERNATIVE TO DRIVING IN THE REGION. THE MPO LOANS OUT SHORT-TERM TRAIL COUNTERS TO COMMUNITIES. HOWEVER, WITHOUT PERMANENT TRAIL COUNTING HARDWARE, IT IS HARD TO HAVE A REAL SENSE OF THE IMPACT OF OUR TAIL SYSTEM AND THE NECESSARY ATTENTION AND INVESTMENT IT MIGHT NEED IN THE FUTURE TO ENSURE THIS AMENITY CONTINUES TO BE PRIORITIZED, EXPANDED AND MAINTAINED. THE MPO'S PERMANENT TRAIL COUNTER PROGRAM WILL ESTABLISH AT LEAST ONE PERMANENT MULTI-USE TRAIL COUNTER IN EACH OF THE EIGHT PRIMARY LEVEL 1 TRAIL CORRIDORS IN THE REGION WHICH HISTORICALLY EXPERIENCE HEAVY USAGE, WITH THE OPTION TO EXPAND IF NEEDED. THE MULTI COUNTERS WILL TAKE COUNTS AROUND THE CLOCK, ALL YEAR ROUND, UNDER ALL WEATHER CONDITIONS AND WILL REMOTELY TRANSMIT TRAIL USAGE DATA EVERY DAY. THE COUNTERS WILL ALSO BE ABLE TO DISTINGUISH BETWEEN BICYCLISTS AND PEDESTRIANS. |

THE EDGEWOOD VIKING LOOP TRAIL IS PROPOSED TO BE A PAVED, MULTI-USE TRAIL AROUND THE COMMUNITY DREAMS SPORTS AND RECREATION COMPLEX AND EDGEWOOD INDUSTRIAL PARK.

OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT IS WORKING ON CONSTRUCTING AN AG INNOVATION LAB, WHICH INVOLVES THE CONSTRUCTION OF A 18 X 36 GREENHOUSE TO BE UTILIZED THROUGHOUT THE SCHOOL YEAR FOR WORK ON HORTICULTURE AND FOOD SCIENCE INVESTIGATIONS AMONG OTHER AREAS THROUGH GROWING OF FRUITS AND VEGETABLES. ONE PIECE OF THIS PROJECT IS TO CONTINUE TO EXPAND SPECIALTY CROP CONSUMPTION INITIATIVES THAT WERE STARTED THROUGH THE USDA SPECIALTY CROPS GRANT INITIATIVES IN 2017. THESE EFFORTS GREATLY INCREASED INTEREST IN AND THE CONSUMPTION OF SPECIALTY CROPS, BUT PRODUCTION VOLUME HAS ALWAYS BEEN A NAGGING ISSUE. WE ARE REQUESTING FUNDS TO COVER THE EQUIPMENT AND MATERIALS NEEDED TO GROW FRESH FRUIT AND VEGETABLES THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. THE CASH MATCH WOULD BE USED TO PURCHASE THE GREENHOUSE WHILE THE WELLMARK FOUNDATION WOULD FUND THE EQUIPMENT AND MATERIALS NEEDED TO GROW FRESH FRUIT AND VEGETABLES THROUGH GROWING BENCHES, ENVIRONMENTALLY CONTROL GROWTH TENTS, HYDROPONICS, AND AQUAPONICS. |

THIS IS THE FIRST STEP IN CREATING A MORE ROBUST OUTDOOR PLAY SPACE THAT DOESN'T SIGNIFICANTLY BURDEN THE CITY OR VOLUNTEERS IN TERMS OF LONG-TERM MAINTENANCE OR STAFFING COST. IT WILL BE SUSTAINABLE FUN FOR MANY YEARS, AND WE BELIEVE IT WILL LEAD TO EVEN FURTHER PRIVATE AND PUBLIC INVESTMENT IN THE PARK CAMPUS AND OUTDOOR RECREATION IN BURKE. |

WE WILL BE PLACING A WALKING TRAIL SURROUNDING OUR CURRENT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL BUILDING AND CITY BALLPARK. WE LIVE IN A VERY RURAL COMMUNITY WHERE FINDING A SAFE PLACE TO EXERCISE SOMETIMES MEANS WALKING ON STREETS OR CROOKED SIDE WALKS. THIS WALKING TRAIL WOULD ALLOW COMMUNITY MEMBERS OF ALL AGES TO SAFELY WALK, RUN, OR PLAY. THE TRAIL WOULD SURROUND THE CURRENT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AND BALL DIAMONDS TOTALING ABOUT 1/2 OF A MILE. WE PLAN TO HAVE MEMORIALS ALONG THE PATH FOR THESE STUDENTS, VARIOUS OUTDOOR EXERCISE EQUIPMENT FOR BOTH CHILDREN AND ADULTS, AND LIGHTING ALONG THE WAY. THIS WOULD ALSO PROVIDE A PLACE FOR STUDENTS TO WALK WHEN OUR PLAYGROUND IS NOT ACCESSIBLE DUE TO WEATHER CONDITIONS AND FOR SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL REGULATION NEEDS DURING THE SCHOOL DAY. |
