Talley Trail is another one of those things that makes the quality of life so good in Garden City. The trail runs through the middle of the city going east-west for an official length of 3.5 miles, but with the ever increasing system of interconnected sidewalks and paths is effectively much longer. It is named after Bonnie Talley; four time Garden City mayor and 16 year city commissioner. Bonnie was active in all aspects of Garden City and played an important role in directing our city down the path we enjoy today. From an old The Garden City Telegram: To me she was the epitome of a person who was entirely selfless with her service to the community, City Manager Bob Halloran said of Talley. As a cheerleader for this community, she was unparalleled. Although she was not a Garden City native, she was Miss Garden City, Mesa said. She was a trailblazer and champion for the strong stances she took as mayor. It was a real pleasure to work with and for her, Halloran said. She not only governed with her brain but with her heart. Next time you take an evening walk on Talley Trail remember how many amazing people it takes to make a great city -and be glad they (continue to) choose Garden City to call home.
