The public is urged to have a voice in developing recreational opportunities

along Stone Lake in LaPorte.  Lakeshore Dr. was converted recently to one way, to provide room for trails and other amenities.

This evening, the park board is taking public comment on how to further develop that area.

Mayor Tom Dermody is asking people to be part of the process. The park board meets this evening at 6 p.m. at Cummings Lodge.
