Friends of Blue Star Trail get organized

The Friends of Blue Star Trail — about 50 people strong — are working to see the construction of a trail from South Haven to Saugatuck along the west side of Blue Star Highway.

The Kalamazoo Gazette reports construction has begun on the paved, 10-foot-wide trail that will stretch for 19.5 miles.

Excerpt:

“We’re getting started, and we’re moving forward, and it’s very exciting for us,” said Jeanne Van Zoeren, board president of Friends of the Blue Star Trail, the nonprofit organization helping to plan and raise funds for the trail. Work on the trail began last September with construction of a traffic circle at the intersection of Blue Star Highway and North Shore Drive in South Haven. About a third of a mile of the trail has been paved.
