City Approves Bike Trail Grant Agreement Funding
July 28, 2016 at 4:25 p.m.
Warsaw Board of Public Works and Safety approved a K21 Health Foundation grant agreement to help with signage and pavement markings for bike trails in Warsaw Friday. The board approved a $24,000 K21 Foundation grant agreement for pavement markings and signage for the bike trail along Smith Street and Winona Avenue. Board member Charlie Smith made the motion, seconded by board member Jeff Grose. Warsaw Mayor Joe Thallemer said the city is working diligently with the Kosciusko County Velo Cycling Club for education efforts on the signage for the bike trails. He said the Bicycle Ride-Walk committee is working on the bike and pedestrian master plan process. Thallemer said his concern is safety and making sure people understand how the markings work, and that cyclists, pedestrians and motorists know their responsibilities. “We want a safe bicycling experience as well as a smooth bicycling experience,” Thallemer said. The board also approved a $4,022.20 pay application request to R.W. Armstrong for a bike and pedestrian master plan. This is a reimbursable grant where once the amount is paid, the city can submit for reimbursement to the Indiana State Department of Health. Tim Dombrosky, assistant city planner, reminded everyone of the Warsaw and Winona Lake bicycle and pedestrian master plan community open house. The open house is Thursday from 4 to 6:30 p.m. at Center Lake Pavilion.
