Decorated Bike Rack Donated to North Judson

A bike rack featuring Bluejay artwork has been donated to the Town of North Judson.

North Judson is getting a new piece of bike infrastructure and public art. Kirt Verhagen recently told the town council that he purchased a bike rack last year for a North Judson-San Pierre art student to decorate.

“Here’s what she came up with: so you’ve got a blue jay on one side and text . . . ‘protect the nest’ on the other side,” he said. “So what we would like to do is donate this, in turn, to the town, for use wherever you see fit.”

Council President John Rowe said there are multiple places that could use a bike rack, but the Norwayne Field splash pad is a likely location.

Kirt Verhagen presents a decorated bike rack to the North Judson Town Council in August.
