Danville City Council members have decided to pursue a $200-thousand dollar state grant to extend a shared use path along the bluff behind the David S. Palmer Arena. Steve Lane is Superintendent of Community Development for the City of Danville….
[The City of Danville plans to improve the view above the Vermilion River as it expands a shared use path. You can click on this photo to get a better look at the river below.]
And Lane says some other improvements are also planned in that area…
Mayor Rickey Williams noted the money being requested can only be used for trails. The City is seeking the money through the Illinois Department of Natural Resources Recreational Trail Program. Some city leaders think the improvements will make a nice place for people to relax…including those attending events at the Palmer Arena — such as wrestling matches.
