A decision to ask permission, rather than forgiveness, from the state in constructing a walking trail under Beersheba Street Bridge is still spinning its wheels in the approval process.Back in June, the city of McMinnville asked the Tennessee Department of Transportation to allow an easement across its land to continue a trail along Barren Fork River to connect Ramsey Park to Rocket Park.“Approval is still pending, but it’s moving forward,” said City Administrator Bill Brock, who said he received an email from the state Nov. 27 to notify him of the progress.The email was from Brian Dickerson, manager of Excess Land Office Right-Of-Way Division, who said the committee met and approved the request which will now be sent onto the next stage of the process.“Your request indicates intent to install and maintain a walking trail under the SR-56 bridge over the Barren Fork River,” said Dickerson. “This request has been recommended for approval by the committee, contingent on nothing being attached to the structure. Your request will now proceed to the environmental process.
