Rutherford Trail Continued from front being so close to the road, with the cars speeding down the hill just to the north on Main Street. She felt the money would be better spent fixing up the south entrance, by the CIBC. The Rutherford Trail was developed in the ravine along Orono Creek just west of Main Street Orono, beginning beginning in 1994. In 2000 a 'Friends of the Sydney B | Rutherford Trail' group was formed, who. undertook a major clean up of the trail that fall. This group, led by Pat Lycett, was instrumental in getting the design for the north entrance parkette drawn Sections of the Rutherford Rutherford Trail have become overgrown due to lack of on g oin g mai n t e - nance. up before they disbanded the following summer. According to Windolf, work had not commenced on the project at that time because the municipality was attempting to purchase additional additional property, a strip along the creek, from the owner of the adjacent property to the north. A settlement could not be reached, therefore the municipality is prepared at this time to proceed with the original plan. "We've designed the parkette parkette to be as low maintenance as possible," stated Windolf in a phone conversation with the Orono Weekly Times on Monday. Windolf felt, he did receive' some commitment from the Orono Horticultural Club for assistance in maintaining maintaining the gardens. His next step was to meet with the former former members of the 'Friends of the Sydney B Rutherford Trail' group, before proceeding proceeding with the tendering process. ~ HAPPENINGS ~ Every Wednesday afternoon to August 27.
