Fitness Trail

On tonight’s agenda is the fitness trail that has been proposed for Cahoon Park. I am passing along to you some resident’s comments regarding the trail. Bay resident Barry Tyo is one of 2 men that have developed this proposal. 

Mr. Tyo has presented Council with a letter stating his relationship/employment with the company Fitness Trails America. Mr. Tyo is forgoing commission for Cahoon Park.  It has been made mention that if Cahoon is successful, similar setups would be considered for Reese and Bradley Park. Some are hoping Council will consider these other parks for the initial installation. Concern is twofold. Some people just do not want anything in Cahoon Park no matter what pains may be taken to preserve the integrity of this lakeside jewel and view. The other concern is that this park will be used as a promotion tool.

There has been discussion for over a year to create a survey to determine what people would like in terms of fitness options for Bay. Since no survey has been yet created, if you want a voice in this call Karen Lieske with your thoughts on this topic.  440-871-3642. Please leave a message if she doesn't answer.You could also email your Council representative.  If you are unable to attend the meeting, you may also send an email to Joan Kemper, Clerk of Council, and ask her to read it into the record.
