Kickapoo Rail Trail Update

A quick update on the Kickapoo Rail Trail (more on the project and collaboration at this Cheat Sheet post) from the News-Gazette last week:

Kickapoo Rail Trail paving the way through downtown St. Joseph
As fundraising and design work continue on the Kickapoo Rail Trail, a construction crew started work this week on another section of the path — a paved portion, less than a half-mile long, that will extend through downtown St. Joseph.

"It will go all the way down to Seventh Street," said village President Tami Fruhling-Voges. "It's going to be a really nice addition."

The new segment will extend the already-in-use trail (6.7 miles from Urbana to St. Joseph) through downtown St. Joseph and over to the east side of town.

Currently in the design stage is another 5.1-mile stretch, which will extend the trail to Ogden.

And fundraising continues for other sections that have yet to be designed and built.
