Bike Path Dedication

The work on this two mile section of the trail has been funded by the Ohio Department of  Natural Resources, the Middletown Community Foundation, the Arthur Harvey Foundation, the Barnitz Fund and the Miami Conservancy District.  We are thrilled to have this extension of the bike path open and look forward to the next extension which will take us nearly to the Franklin city limits where the 250 mile path continues into Dayton and beyond. 

Bike Path Project Change Order

We will be bringing a change order to City Council on December 1st for approximately $10,000 for the bike path project.  The additional cost was incurred due to a shortage of useable embankment material on the job, causing offsite embankment to be hauled in.  Also, additional seeding and mulching was required to restore the affected areas along the new path.  This will be a supplemental appropriation that will be paid for with the available grant funds for the project.

I checked out the new bike path Wednesday. It really looks great.

justwatching wrote: I'm all for the bike path and think it is great but.... we have spent millions and millions AND MILLIONS of dollars on a path to ride bikes, when there are people starving all over the city, county, state, country, and world. We have become so out of touch with what really matters in life... and that is "life itself". Millions of dollars on a path to ride a bike? Wow.

 

Actually Vet, those 1600 on section 8 probably DO HAVE a $400 bike. I know they have big screen tv's and nicer furniture than most hard working americans. Sorry, I know I'm generalizing and stereotyping here, but it sickens me every time I drive down Roosevelt Avenue past the Section 8 condos on trash day. There is ALWAYS boxes for new flat screen televisions and other large ticket items. Must be nice to be able to afford those and not have to make a house payment....
