Athens Mayor discusses stalled bike path and stray pets
Athens Mayor Donald Barrett says the planned Hocking River bike path is blocked by railroad tracks requiring an expensive underpass, while an overpass is unlikely. He favors the project but worries about liability if a rider meets a train and notes alternatives being explored. He also mentions acquiring a city bus for swimmers, crackdown on strays amid rabies rise, and bids for two police cruisers with April Industrial Safety Month proclaimed.
