The Easter Lake Trail will be constructed in 3 phases.

The first phase is within Easter Lake Park on the south side of the lake between Easter Lake Drive and Shelter 4. Survey is underway and we expect a 2013 design and construction in 2014.

The second planned phase on the north side of the lake will construct an east to west connecting trail on the north side of the lake that will reach from Indianola Ave to the park access road west of the dam and include a spur connecting to the neighborhoods on the north and to Evergreen Ave. Anticipated to be in 2014 and 2015.

The final phase on a portion of the west end and on the east side of the lake is dependent on watershed work that includes lowering of the lake for dredging and to allow for construction of a major sewer line on the east side. That work is scheduled for 2014-15 and trail construction should follow closely behind.

I got more info from the MPO on the proposed change. The way I understand it, the federally funded portion of phase 3 is changed to that shown here. https://dmampodemo.files.wordpress.com/2016/12/pccb-easter-lake-phase-3.pdf

The western portion of the project would then be completed without federal funds.

Phase 3 of the Easter Lake Trail update is up for a change in planning. In case there's anyone here who has an interest in keeping tabs on what's being done, there's a meeting at the MPO on it on Thursday the 19th at 4 PM.
