WINONA LAKE - Planning of the Lake City Greenway project continued Tuesday as the Winona Lake town council announced "Heritage Trail" will be the title of their section of the recreational trail.

The council approved the name, which had been recommended by the Winona Lake Greenway Art Commission during a meeting Feb. 6. Also approved were 11 sub-themes, which will be displayed in artwork throughout the Greenway.

"Our thoughts are that the art we are requesting should represent these themes," Clerk-Treasurer Retha Hicks said. "Ideally, we're looking for something to match with certain locations of the project."

As well as artwork placement, the Greenway Art Commission also will decide where to place commemorative benches, which could be purchased through donations from the community.

Town Coordinator Craig Allebach said he will walk through Winona Lake's portion of the project with the the Lake City Greenway Committee to determine the best location for the benches. A bid-letting of the project is estimated to take place May 24.

In other projects, improvements to Wooster Road will be upcoming, according to town engineer Larry Long. The work is being completed to re-establish the road in anticipation of the Grace College Orthopedic Capital Center, which the college plans to break ground for Friday.

Field survey work for Wooster Road has been completed by the town and the project is now in a design process to finish the final site plan.

Present councilmen were Delp, Rolly Ortega and Jerry Clevenger. [[In-content Ad]]
