Bike path striping completed in New Philadelphia

Work has been completed on the bike path striping along East High Avenue in New Philadelphia. This path connects Kent State University at Tuscarawas to downtown New Philadelphia. The striping was finished during the week of March 10, taking advantage of favorable weather. Additional work, including curb reclamation and raising manholes, is still pending, with no date set for its completion. The bike trail features a 5-foot lane starting at Founders Hall Drive and ending at the courthouse square. The project cost approximately $2.4 million, primarily funded by the Ohio Department of Transportation and grants.
