The Estherville City Council Monday evening moved a step closer to construction of the first phase of the city's trail plan. The council approved a federal aid agreement with the Iowa DOT for the trail project along the west fork of the Des Moines River.

City officials approved a trail plan in 2010 and the agreement approved Monday helps jumpstart the first phase of the project from North Fourth Street to the Estherville Rock Garden-approximately 1.02 miles. The trail will travel along the river through Joe Hoye, North Riverside and Mickelson parks.
