The Woodstock City Council has approved funding for bicyclist and hiker safety improvements at Olde Rope Mill Park.

The council moved $32,640 in undesignated monies from the Greenprints projects/streets fund to the Greenprints projects/Parks and Recreation account.

The funds will pay for split rail fencing directing cyclists along a designated path; a new footbridge; crosswalks lined into the parking lot, and signage, according to a staff report to the council.

They also will pay for two AED (automated external defibrillator) units to be installed at the park, and for mile markers with emergency locator information along the Trestle Rock, Noonday Creek, Rubes Creek and Towne Lake Pass trails, staff said.
