Bangor authorizes parks partnership with Rotary for Kandusky trail signage and Gateway Park trailhead
Summary
Council committee approved an order authorizing Parks and Recreation to work with Bangor Rotary on signage improvements and a new trailhead at Gateway Park on 14th Street for the Kandusky Extritt and Trail.
The Government Operations Committee on Sept. 15 approved an order authorizing the Parks and Recreation Department to partner with Bangor Rotary on trail signage and to create a trailhead entry at Gateway Park on 14th Street for the Kandusky Extritt and Trail.
Tracy Ouellette, director of parks and recreation, said the Rotary "approached us some time ago about some potential projects" and that the organization would provide volunteers and funding for signage improvements and a trailhead.
The item was moved and seconded and approved by unanimous consent with no objection recorded in the transcript. No specific dollar amount or project schedule was stated at the meeting; staff indicated existing master‑plan priorities guided site selection.
Why it matters: the partnership uses volunteer capacity and private funds to implement elements of the parks master plan, which staff said would improve wayfinding and access at Gateway Park and along the Kandusky trail.
