Summary
The city is applying for up to $800,000 in state Trust Fund money for a 0.3-mile trail segment at Riverfront Park, with bike racks, benches and picnic tables. The 63% match comes from money the city already committed, so approval doesn't raise your taxes — it just strengthens the grant score.
