The Village of Sunbury will be holding an open house for the purpose of seeking public comment on a proposed extension of the Ohio Fallen Heroes Trail.
The event will take place at 6:30 PM on Wednesday, September 23 on the first floor of the Town Hall at 51 East Cherry Street.
The proposal would continue an approximately 1000 foot segment of the trail from West Granville Street south through Old Orchard Park to the new high school. The trail connects the Community Library with the Fallen Heroes Memorial, dedicated in 2007.
It is envisioned that future extensions will connect this section to the trail system in Sunbury Meadors, in turn providing connection to the Sandel Legacy Trail, part of the Ohio to Erie Trail network.
The result of this extension will provide more connection between neighborhoods and community offerings. If a pending grant request is approved, the project is planned for next spring.
Interested parties may also comment by e-mailing the Village Administrator, Allen Rothermel, at arothermel@sunburyvillage.com or on The Village of Sunbury Facebook page by September 30.
