PIERRE — The South Dakota Transportation Commission has awarded the City of Pierre a 364-thousand dollar grant to construct a shared-use path on Poplar Avenue along the La Framboise Island causeway. The Pierre City Commission accepted that grant Tuesday night…
Parks Director Tom Farnsworth says the project would connect to Pierre’s existing Steamboat Park and Lewis and Clark Trails and be a safer path for pedestrians walking or biking to La Framboise Island…
The project is roughly 10 years in the making…
The state Department of Transportation will do most of the planning on the project now that the City of Pierre has approved the grant. The city has four years to use the grant money and it will be budgeted for 2022. Completion is expected on or before 2023.
