Public Input Needed Sept. 25 for Trail/Bicycle Network

“The Healthy Bourbon County Action Team is working with our neighbors (Allen and Crawford Counties) to develop a plan for a regional trail system to be presented to each of the county’s governmental entity,” Jody Hoener, Healthy Bourbon County Action Team, said. “There are plans already put in place for US Bicycle Routes (ex. current route 76 and future route 55), unfortunately, each avoiding Bourbon County.”

” This will give our community a chance to make recommendations on connections to existing regional trail networks, highlight local trail networks already in place, and brainstorm new ideas to encourage tourism, enhance the quality of life, and access to outdoor recreation with hiking, trail running, or mountain biking,” she said.

 

“Either directly or indirectly, these larger trails will be beneficial for all, not just those who value an active lifestyle,” Hoener said.
