HUTCHINSON, Kan. — On the agenda for the Hutchinson City Council is naming the Northeast Trail that runs from 23rd and Waldron, crosses 23rd and 30th Streets, and ends at the 39th and Plum parking lot in honor of a Hutchinson bicycling leader who died in January.
Kat Helfrich posted on social media, "I approached the Parks Department with the idea to rename the trail The Bob Helfrich Memorial "Bad Bobby" Trail. They feel it is a great idea and a perfect way to honor Bob. My friend Jim Strawn has donated the parking lot to the city, so that we may construct a gazebo, picnic table, and water fountain."
This renaming goes to the City Council for a vote Tuesday, December 19, at 9:00 a.m.
