Summary
Three BICS students presented a BMX-track proposal to the Township Board on April 14, 2004. Their design included four runs, banked corners, a starting block, jumps, and 26 events; they sought permission rather than direct funding.
Stewardship plan
The students reported 57 signatures from students willing to help maintain the track, while proposed support included a private contribution and fund-raisers.
Evidence limits
The proposal and maintenance pledge do not establish that the track was built.
