PORTAGE, MI (WKZO AM/FM) – The City of Portage Parks and Recreation department is looking for feedback on the proposed Austin Lake Trail in the city.
A public input meeting on the proposed trail’s draft plan will be held Wednesday, February 7 at 7:00 p.m. at Portage Parks and Recreation, 320 Library Lane. Portage.
The proposed Austin Lake Trail is a non-motorized, paved off-road trail spanning three miles from the city’s southern border along the scenic east side of
Austin Lake to Zylman Avenue. The eventual plan is to have the trail connect with trail systems in the neighboring communities of Vicksburg and Schoolcraft, allowing people to bike or hike between municipalities.
City officials say the input from the meeting will be used to enhance the trail design and to support grant applications to the Michigan Department of Transportation and the Michigan Department of Natural Resources.
A copy of the draft plan will be available beginning February 6 at 8:00 a.m. at portagemi.gov/644.
Written comments can be sent to the City of Portage Parks and Recreation, 320 Library Lane, Portage, MI 49002, or emailed to hoylek@portagemi.gov.
