Huron River Greenway - 2009 Update

The Good   The Bad   The Ugly
   

The Good News...and it's very good news, is that a bike/ walkway/jogging tunnel has been built under Rt.250 which will allow the Greenway to connect with the North Coast Inland Trail at Norwalk. One of the problems in developing the trail has been the need to cross Rt. 250.  For those who want to see or walk the tunnel, it's located across the entrance of the HRG in Milan.

 

Well, it's still closed. At least, most of the Huron River Greenway is still closed which is reflected on the sign above at one of the entrances to the Greenway. I know that the MetroParks people are negotiating with the owners of the land beside the Greenway and they are making progress, but there are still a few people who refuse to negotiate in good faith. Hope springs eternal.

 

It's hard to imagine anything being uglier than what has been done to the entrance of the Huron River Greenway in downtown Milan. Apparently the owner of this land (who shall go nameless) has decided to make a statement on what he thinks of the Greenway. What an insult to the history of Milan Canal and to the people who treasure the unique history of the Milan.
