The next step is for the village (ask Lorri Alexander to assist) to send out a letter in March (date moved up) to the residents close to the proposed trails to see if they have any concerns with this and invite them to the April 8 meeting for input. Muszynski emailed the committee a tentative map of where the trails could be placed.
