Honesdale Borough Council on June 24 approved a design for a new park for the first block of 12th Street, from the Main Street bridge to Church Street. As designed, traffic would continue oneway, one-lane only, giving room for a shady place to relax and enjoy the Lackawaxen River or continue a walk alongside the river on a path now under construction by the county.
Brian Wilken of the Greater Honesdale Partnership board hailed this as an inviting northern ‘gateway’ to downtown. It is related to the current Main Street revitalization program emphasizing public safety and aesthetics. Read the full story in the Tri-County Independent.
