After working with a program called Healthy Hometown, volunteers who have been involved hope to extend the bike and pedestrian path east of Flandreau all the way west to the edge of town where they hope for an enhanced green space to welcome people.
While plans are conceptual with nothing finalized, the group wants to solicit additional ideas from the community and share the vision so far. They will hold a town hall-style meeting 6 p.m. Jan. 15 in the basement at Mad Mary’s.
“We’re in the planning stage, and we’re just in the exploration stage right now, figuring out all the desires and wants of people,” said Kelley Ramsdell, who has volunteered on the committee. “The goal of the project is to connect, to form your connections with bike paths and crosswalks.
We’re still in the planning stages of it so we have to get lots of blessings along the way.”
In addition to extending the biking and walking path through town, the group has talked to community leaders who also are interested in having a path going south on Veterans Street to connect with the Royal River Casino area and the extensive sidewalk system on the Flandreau Santee Sioux Tribe land. There are no sidewalks on Veterans to walk between that area and Pipestone Avenue.
