The Knox City Council last night unanimously approved a name recommendation for 150 South. It’s the street that runs between Roosevelt Road and South Heaton Street past the Knox bus barn. The city recently used Community Crossings grant money from the state to connect the two ends.
Mayor Dennis Estok suggested the street be formally named before submitting the inventory to the state. He recommended Veterans Parkway as a name to honor the servicemen and women of Knox and Starke County. The road comes out just south of the Knox VFW by Sandy Acres Park.
The city council enthusiastically approved that suggestion. They also agreed to submit Veterans Parkway and the Henry Drive extension to INDOT as part of the city’s road inventory. Doing so will ensure Knox receives money to maintain both routes.
