There are three prelimimary alternatives.
Alternative A is the No Action Alternative. Everything would stay the same as it currently exists on Bloody Hill and the new waysides would only be placed where existing waysides are now located.
Alternative B proposes to pave the existing trail surface with pervious pavement and install resting platforms; install a shade shelter, boardwalk, new waysides, and resting benches; install new and re-located cannons; add a new loop trail and modify another; abandon a portion of the existing trail that impacts the habitat of an endangered plant species, the Missouri Bladderpod; and install a small boardwalk to protect the same plant species.
Alternative C (Preferred) proposes to harden the exiting trail surface and install resting platforms; install new waysides, and resting benches; install new and re-located cannons; install a new trail spur to the Lyon Marker and abandon and rehabilitate a larger portion of the trail that impacts the habitat of an endangered plant species, the Missouri Bladderpod.
