Bangor approves Rotary partnership to add signage and trailhead at Gateway Park
Summary
The Government Operations Committee authorized the parks and recreation department to partner with the Bangor Rotary to add signage and create a trailhead at Gateway Park on 14th Street, with Rotary providing volunteers and funding.
The Government Operations Committee on Sept. 15 authorized the city’s parks and recreation department to partner with the Bangor Rotary to install signage along the Kandusky Extritten Trail and create a trailhead entry at Gateway Park on 14th Street.
The committee voted, with no recorded opposition, to allow the parks department to work with the Rotary on the project. Tracy Ouellette, director of parks and recreation, said the Rotary “approached us some time ago about some potential projects they could partner with us on” and that the organization “is gonna commit both volunteers and funds to the effort.”
The project was identified using the city’s master plan and follows other ongoing work in the same trail corridor, Ouellette said. Committee members moved and seconded the order during the meeting; no further formal conditions or funding allocations were recorded in the committee action.
The authorization directs staff to continue planning with the Rotary and the parks department; details such as final design, a construction schedule, and any required permits were not specified at the meeting.
