At last week’s Committee of the Whole meeting of the Lincoln City Council, Angela Stoltzenburg of the Healthy Communities Partnership spoke about a new project her agency is hoping to implement. Working with the Logan County Alliance and the city of Lincoln, HCP wants to put up signage around town that will encourage people to take a short walk around town. The signs would point out various landmarks and give an estimated time it would take to walk to see it. Stoltzenburg brought a "draft" sign that would be placed uptown pointing toward the Constellation sculpture on Sangamon Street with a note that it would take only 8 minutes to walk to the site. The signs will not only encourage walking as a means of exercise, but would also point out some of the interesting aspects of the city to visitors.
