Leaf debris piles up in the gutters and clogs storm drainage as well as piling up in the rock mulch providing organic matter to encourage weed growth. ii. The neighborhoods appreciate the preliminary work on tree pruning and suggest additional review. • Citizen Kevin Moynihan: Introduced a suggested need for a bike park in Louisville. i. Expansion of the dirt bike path in Community Park would be a starting point. ii. Larger bike park at the Rec Center: asphalt track iii. Nathan suggested that a bike trail could be incorporated into the "fun routes to schools" projects, such as the Powerline Trail traveling from the Rec Center. Bike Park idea is a great starting point and would require community involvement. A pilot project could involve community volunteers. iv. Kevin: excited to discuss pilot project involving volunteers, will discuss with Nathan and Dean Johnson and bring some ideas back to the board. 7.
