Preparing Honey Creek for a new pedestrian bridge is The Sertoma Club of Greenwood’s latest service project. A new pedestrian bridge will be placed next year over Honey Creek along Stones Crossing Road. Community volunteers are needed to help with the project set for Saturday, October 26 at 9 a.m. In case of rain, the date will be November 2 at 9 a.m. “This is a wonderful opportunity for our club to continue to give back to our community. We know this will improve the appearance of this highly traveled area and we think this is a project our community will appreciate our efforts once the work is completed” says Jeff Goben, Sertoma Club of Greenwood member.
The Sertoma Club of Greenwood, Center Grove Community School Corporation, and Center Grove Trails, Inc. will partner the event to clear out underbrush improving the area where walkers/joggers can enjoy a safe route connecting two neighborhoods to the school campus. “We would like to welcome anyone that wants to volunteer to help with this project on October 26 to bring along appropriate attire: boots, work gloves, and rakes.
Currently walkers/joggers use a narrow, old bridge that is shared by daily traffic that leads to three schools: Center Grove Middle School Central, Center Grove Elementary School, and Center Grove High School. Having a pedestrian bridge along the Stones Crossing Road will improve their safety and enjoyment. The neighborhoods of Forest Hills and Brentridge Estates are connected with Forest Hills.
A homeowner in Forest Hills has donated the use of her property to place this bridge. She sees the value of having a safe route to the school campus and the school administration building.
Please plan to help out on October 26 at 9 a.m. for this first ever partnership in the Center Grove Community to help improve our quality of life and make our community a safer place. Volunteers are asked to park in the Center Grove Administration Building parking lot located on Stones Crossing Road.

I encourage all our friends that live in Forest Hills and Brentridge to plan on helping out for awhile on Saturday along Honey Creek. It will vastly improve this overgrown area and when the new pedestrian bridge and sidewalks are placed next summer we can all share in some Center Grove community pride! Having this bridge will be a awesome safety improvement too. I just visualize people walking safely to future high school and middle school football games or any other activities.
