The Winamac Town Council members agreed to support the installation of a surface on top of utility infrastructure in a project planned by the Indiana Department of Transportation.
Tippecanoe River State Park Access Committee Chairman Fred Kasten recently told the Winamac Town Council that the Indiana Department of Transportation was given permission to run water and sewer lines in the transportation easement alongside U.S. 35 from Winamac at the Pulaski County Highway Department to Tippecanoe River State Park. He asked the council if there was a possibility to put crushed and rolled limestone on top of that buried infrastructure to include it as a trail out to the state park. It would cross U.S. 35 at some point.
Residents could use the surface as a trail to go from the park into the Town of Winamac.
The Friends of the Pandhandle Pathway have been working on this connection for some time and it would be a great benefit for the town and for the group if this could be completed.
The town will talk to the engineers on the project to see if this work can be done to get this project completed, which was included in a motion and unanimously approved by the town council.
