The Bike and Pedestrian Task Force discussed ways to improve overall transportation in the area, with a focus on youth.

Residents of all ages coming to the City of Lima's public meeting on the new community aquatic center.

A public meeting will be held next Thursday to talk about the survey results and to get additional input from those attending. The discussion will be on various topics and will help with developing a strategic plan to improve housing conditions.
