BIshop and Highland

Drivers who frequently travel through the intersection of Highland and Bishop roads in Highland Heights may want to consider alternate routes.

An $825,000 reconstruction project is scheduled to begin Monday, May 19. It will include lengthened turning lanes in all four directions and new traffic signals, pavement, curbs and sidewalks.

Traffic will be maintained, but officials expect long delays. The project should be finished this fall.

HIGHLAND HEIGHTS -- The non-profit groups Love Our Green Space and Friends of Euclid Creek will hold a "Walk in the (Wild) Woods" beginning at 2 p.m. Sunday (April 20) at Highland Heights Community Park, 5905 Wilson Mills Road.

The walk will take place in the more than 30 acres of undeveloped forested land that includes wetland areas, stands of mature trees and several streams that are the headwaters of Euclid Creek.

Barb Holtz, a naturalist and member of FOFC, will guide the walk and identify plants and trees, discuss animal habitats and explain the importance of wetlands in the Euclid Creek tributary system.

Walkers are encouraged to bring their cameras to capture the experience. They should meet at the picnic shelter next to the pool, and should wear boots and be prepared to walk in water and mud.
