C. Single-track MTB path at Ruby Grant Park: solicit proposals from OEF? (Tom)
Chris and Tom will look at existing plans that are going into design July 1 to see if
there is a location within the park for a mountain bike single-track that won’t
conflict with other activities.
Elements on the draft conceptual plan that will NOT likely be built/designed
include the park maintenance facility and amphitheater.

This ended up being private property. So completely the access will require the new
development to be built and include this link.
