New Kent Parks and Recreation director Kevin Schwartzhoff gave a presentation to the KEC breakfast meeting on Friday, February 28. He shared several initiates including:

- mitigation of wetlands
- widening of The Portage bike trail between Brady’s Leap and Main Street
- Creating of an access point from the Main Street bridge to The Portage Bike trail
For more detailed information about upcoming initiatives, peruse the powerpoint from the presentation.



The number one priority should be creating access to downtown Kent from the hike and bike trail at N.Water and Lake. Most folks simply turn around on this busy trail or completely bypass downtown because of this flaw.
