Tucked away in the capital improvement budget Shorewood's Council just approved is reassignment of the funds earmarked to renovate N. Eureka Rd. to the trail fund for use this year to complete the Smithtown east and Galpin Lake trails.
It appears that after six years with the Eureka project in the 20-year road plan, staff felt that the renovation was not really practical, making the funds conveniently available to fund the 2014 trail construction shortfall.
If you live on N. Eureka Rd or travel on it, you might want to send your favorite council member a note stating your thoughts.
Happy Reading!

I live in that general vicinity, travel it daily and I am OK with it. Yeah, it's in a state of relative disrepair but with those steep hills on both ends of it, repairing it would only encourage even faster speeds. Increased speeding is the unspoken disadvantage of road reconstruction.
ReplyDeleteThis stretch is also the short cut from 19 for soccer and softball moms going to/from Freeman Park and wanting to avoid the intersection at 19 and Smithtown.
I say good choice in the search for funds for the completion of the Galpin and Smithtown Trails.
LOL! Funniest post I've read in a while!
