If you have any questions or comments after watching the video, please email the Project Supervisor. |
Imagining My Sustainable Community |
In the spring of 2023, Odessa Public School students in Grades 6 and 7 participating in the Imagining My Sustainable Community program shared their vision for sustainable community and civic engagement with Township staff and Council. Council chose to implement three of the ideas presented by the students. Incorporated into this project is a rainbow crosswalk, to be located at the signalized pedestrian crossing of Main Street - Odessa at West Street. Unfortunately, due to cost, applying purple paint on the multi-use pathway was not recommended; however, Council has approved transferring a portion of the budget to supplement the budget for the reading garden at Babcock Mill Park. |
