Rosemead Wrap-Up

A cement-rubberized jogging trail will be coming to Rosemead Park, but last night the city council on a 3-2 vote (surprise, surprise) approved redesigning the trail and to re-bid it. There is one caveat: No trees shall be removed.

Councilwoman Margaret Clark's flier didn't attract nearly as many people as her fliers have in the past. There were about nine speakers, and it was pretty split on who was for or against the trail, said City Manager Oliver Chi.

Clark and Councilman Gary Taylor, the two who voted against the trail, expressed concern that it would interrupt the picnic area.

But the council did unanimously approve working with Rosemead High in coming up with a running track.
