Greenways awards given

At a recent City-County Council meeting, several dedicated Greenways supporters and workers got the thanks they deserved.

National Trail Awards for Public Service were given to three current and former council members: Council President Dr. Beurt SerVaas, Councilwoman Beulah Coughenour, and former Councilman Ray Irvin, who now heads up Indy Parks Greenways.

The awards were granted during the 15th National Trails Symposium in Redding, California this past September and are meant to honor elected officials who believe that "The best way to protect the future is to create it."

Tom Olsen, retiring chairman of the Indianapolis Greenways Development Committee, presented the awards.
