Highland trails committee seeking corporate sponsorship
The city's Community Trails Committee is pushing for a program that would help promote the city's vast trail networks by seeking corporate sponsorship.
At its Dec. 11 meeting, the committee decided to move forward and seek City Council approval on the Mile Makers program. It would honor businesses and individuals who donate $100 to the committee with special plaques, engraved with their names, that would be mounted to posts at trail entrances.
City staff will present sign and plaque options to the committee in February, and the matter is expected to go before the City Council for action sometime in early spring, said Sean Kelleher, assistant planner for the city.
The plaques would be mounted to concrete-filled trail posts throughout the city. City officials have determined there are about 50 posts at various trail entrances that would be ideal candidates for plaques, according to a city staff report.
In addition, the committee is also proposing that a larger, stand-alone sign be placed at each of the 10 trail entrances in the city promoting the program to the business community.
