Cyclists and pedestrians on the B&O Bike Trail will soon have a place to stop for a rest in the shade. According to Richland Source, the Richland County Parks District is constructing a 30-by-20-foot picnic shelter along the trail. The picnic shelter, as well as an adjoining maintenance building, will be located just off the path by the City of Mansfield’s Water Treatment Plant in Lexington. Director Jason Larson said the project should be complete sometime in June, weather permitting. The shelter will have picnic tables, while the maintenance facility will provide a permanent home for equipment used to maintain the trail.
