Columbia市议会审议设非裔传统步道专案组：为沿线历史建筑争取保护分区
密苏里州布恩县 Columbia 市，Columbia 市议会将于11月2日星期一晚开会，审议是否设立市长非裔传统步道（African American Heritage Trail）专案组，为该市非裔传统步道沿线的房产与建筑争取进一步的分区保护。
据《哥伦比亚每日论坛报》11月2日报道，分区保护不会立即生效，市政府首先要成立专案组，负责审查步道沿线的地点与建筑，并就哪些地点应获得历史保护覆盖分区提出建议。专案组将与市历史保护委员会合作，共同判定历史保护覆盖分区是否适用。目前 Columbia 市仅有5处房产拥有历史保护分区，可免于改建或拆除。
市议会当晚还将听取工作人员的几份报告，其中包括与历史悠久的 McKinney Building 及其爵士时代渊源有关的报告；市政府于2023年8月收购了这栋大楼，并曾设立一个专案组，该专案组于2024年11月结束工作，市议会今年4月的工作会议上审议了该大楼的可行性研究。此外，根据市议会议程，市政府还可能接受 Frank W. Morris 纪念信托捐赠的一块土地，用于建设名为 Boone Horizon Trails 的新步道，毗邻 South Stanley Poe Road 旁的 Stuart Park，规划包括7.85英里步道、40个车位的沥青停车场与一座永久性洗手间，土地捐赠估值约380万美元。市议会的表决结果将决定专案组是否正式成立。

Columbia City Council Weighs Heritage Trail Task Force to Seek Preservation Zoning for Historic Sites
The Columbia City Council in Columbia, Boone County, Missouri, will meet on the evening of Monday, November 2, to consider creating a Mayor's Task Force for the African American Heritage Trail, aimed at securing further zoning protection for properties and buildings along the city's African American Heritage Trail.
According to the Columbia Daily Tribune's November 2 report, the zoning protection would not take effect immediately; the city first needs the task force to review trail locations and buildings and recommend which sites should receive historic preservation overlay (HP-O) zoning. The task force will work with the city's Historic Preservation Commission to determine whether HP-O zoning applies. At present, only five Columbia properties have historic preservation zoning, protecting them from modification or demolition.
The council will also hear several staff reports, including one on the historic McKinney Building and its Jazz Age connections; the city acquired the building in August 2023 and set up a task force that concluded in November 2024, and the council reviewed a feasibility study of the building at an April work session. The council may also accept a land donation from the Frank W. Morris Memorial Trust for a new trail area to be known as Boone Horizon Trails, adjacent to Stuart Park along South Stanley Poe Road, planned to include 7.85 miles of trails, a 40-car asphalt parking lot and a permanent restroom facility, with the donation valued at about $3.8 million. The council's vote will decide whether the task force is formally created.
