New walking routes around Columbus

The Platte County Lifestyle Coalition (PCLC) recently opened new walking routes in downtown Columbus.

These walking routes were funded, in part, by America Walks®, a national organization that promotes walking and walkability. The PCLC, in conjunction with Columbus Community Hospital (CCH), received a $1,500 Community Change Grant to help create safe, accessible and enjoyable places to walk.

The PCLC created two walking routes in Columbus, and the City of Columbus helped place signs on the routes. Walkers can use both routes to get active, enjoy the fresh air and be connected to a variety of goods and services offered in the community.
