<div class="MsoNormal">Looking to crowd source potential grant opportunities for building a short (400 yards) walking path/bike path that would connect our Town Hall/Middle/HS complex to a nearby neighborhood. <u></u><u></u></div>

<div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></div>
</div>
<div>
<div class="MsoNormal">Kids from this section of town currently have to take a long roundabout path to school. This could shorten their trip significantly. <u></u><u></u></div>
</div>
<div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></div>
</div>
<div>
<div class="MsoNormal">Town holds a utility easement over the possible route, but the pathway is currently overgrown and impassable.<u></u><u></u></div>
</div>
<div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></div>
</div>
<div>
<div class="MsoNormal">Alternatively, this could be viewed as a way to better connect a series of bike paths and greenways with a nearby state park. (Wouldn't connect directly, but shave considerable time on the trip) <u></u><u></u></div>
