Construction of a proposed multiuse trail along the GVI drainage ditch north of Kisiwa Village Road will not proceed, city leaders agreed Tuesday after the city’s parks director confirmed the city did not own sufficient right-of-way to construct it as planned and a landowner to the north was not willing to sell. To proceed without buying the land would require altering the drainage ditch or building a retaining wall, which Park Director Justin Combs said was cost-prohibitive, or using eminent domain to take the land, which none of the city council members expressed support for.
