 May 2—A grant to improve the walkability of Shannon Springs Park is further along the trail.
 On Monday night, the Chickasha City Council approved a motion to enter into an agreement with ODOT to construct a trail at 9th St. and Ron Terry Drive and create a loop around Shannon Springs. The total cost of the project is an estimated $1.8 million including the City of Chickasha's portion of about $360,000.
 The 80/20 match grant between the Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT) and the City of Chickasha will replace all existing trails in Shannon Springs Park, address erosion issues and potentially install more lighting around the pond.
 Parks and Recreation Director, Spencer Winzenried, said the the Chickasha City Council may be looking at designs next month. While it's too early to say for sure, the project could begin in 2024, he said.
