The Humboldt County Board of Supervisors lent their support for an extension of the Cottonwood Trail in the city of Humboldt, and a pedestrian/bicycle bridge that will connect the south side of the city of Humboldt to the downtown area without having to cross U.S. Highway 169.
Humboldt City Administrator Travis Goedken and Humboldt County Conservation Director Todd Lee were both in attendance at Monday’s meeting.
The proposed project would construct a single piling walking bridge across the West Fork of the Des Moines River, connecting the existing Cottonwood Trail to the new Eagle Ridge housing subdivision on Humboldt’s south side.
Goedken explained that the grant would be an 80 percent/20 percent match, utilizing Transportation Alternative Program (TAP) funds through the MIDAS Region Five Council of Governments. The plan is to apply for $800,000 for the $1 million project.
