CCO READERS SPEAKS OUT ABOUT THE NORTH GREEN RIVER ROAD TRAIL PROJECT THAT WE FOUND INTERESTING
by Frugal
I’d see more possibilities in running the trail along Oak Hill Road from Heckel to Lynch. The trail could later be extended down Heckel to the Deaconess Sports Park, and/or southward down Oak Hill to Oak Hill Cemetery, which is the current terminus of the Hi-Rail Trail that runs along U.S. 41.
North Green River Rd. is becoming a heavily populated and trafficked corridor as more development springs up along that road, rendering it too noisy and busy for walkers and bikers.
But we should ask ourselves whether there are more worthy projects to direct the money toward, such as defraying the costs of the potable water system (including the treatment plant) or the sewer improvements, either of which would relieve some of the financial burdens on the area’s citizens.
Sincerely,
FRUGAL
