The trail construction will then continue to the west along the south side of Plymouth Avenue to the intersection of Indiana Avenue. This project will also include an option to install sanitary sewer from the intersection of Indiana Avenue and Plymouth Avenue east to 709 West Plymouth Avenue along the north side of Plymouth Avenue.
