Normal Council OKs Extending Constitution Trail To Mother Road


The Normal Town Council meets remotely, Monday, April 19, 2021.
The Constitution Trail soon will connect a Route 66 landmark in Normal to a stretch of the historic road that winds north to Towanda as a bike path.
During its virtual meeting Monday, the Normal Town Council approved the Kelley Basin-Route 66 Trail Connection Project on a 6-1 vote. Council member Stan Nord was the only “no” vote.

The town will pay $471,000 to Pontiac’s H.J. Eppel & Co. Inc. Beginning in July, crews will construct pathways from the corner of Pine and Beech streets, near the town-owned Route 66-era Sprague Super Service Station. The path will wind through the One Normal Plaza campus, around the Kelley Basin and then connect to the dead end of the Historic Route 66 bike trail. That stretch comes south from Towanda.  ....
