ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
On March 24, 2008, by Roll Call No. 08-531, the City Council
approved the Waveland Trail Phase I project.
On January 26, 2009, by Roll Call No. 09-136, the City Council held
hearing on the intent to acquire property for recreational purposes and
authorized acquisition of the necessary property interests for the Waveland
Trail – Phase 1 Project by gift, negotiation or condemnation.
This trail starts just south of the small bridge on the Walnut
Creek Trail and will follow a northeasterly route along the east side of what
is commonly known as Golf/Cummins Creek, along the publicly-owned greenway to
Pleasant Street, where it passes under the bridge, then continues easterly on a
route parallel to I-235 along the north edge of private property to 56th
Street at the point where it intersects with I-235. The City will need to purchase the excess
I-235 ramp right-of-way from IDOT, located on the west side of 56th
Street south of I-235, for construction of the trail.
IDOT secured an independent appraisal of the property to be
acquired, which concluded a market value of $94,000. The Real Estate Division has reviewed the
appraisal and concurs with the estimated fair market value of the property.
