COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (AP) — City leaders in Council Bluffs plan to vote on a proposed trail that would connect downtown Council Bluffs to Omaha, Nebraska, across the Missouri River. The Daily Nonpareil reports that the Council Bluffs City Council is scheduled to vote Monday on the plans and funding sources for the second phase of the Mid-City Trail, which is part of the West Broadway Corridor development project.

The western portion of the trail would hook up with the current River’s Edge Park/Iowa Riverfront Trail that allows trail users to go back and forth between Omaha and Council Bluffs on the Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge.
