STORY AND PHOTO BY KAREN BOSSICK

Ketchum Mayor Neil Bradshaw was elated to be able to tell those attending the September Coffee Talk at the Sun Valley Culinary Institute that Wood River Valley residents would soon be able to drive Ketchum’s Main Street from start to finish after a months-long road construction project.

Less than a week later, workers repaved the road, and this past week they removed pedestrian fences as they continued finishing up details like installing manhole covers.

Now, the City of Ketchum is considering what to do with the historic Forest Service Park, where Ketch’em Alive, the Wood River Farmer’s Market and other events are held.

The park, a former U.S. Forest Service compound, features Engelmann spruce trees planted in 1934 that are the oldest standing trees in town.

The city is considering using the area for more employee housing and even, possibly, using the buildings for business purposes. It wants people’s  imput to determine citizens’ desire for future use. Take the survey online at surveymonkey.com/r/CT632VQ. Hard copies of the survey are also available at City Hall.

The next Coffee Talk, which brings citizens and business leaders together to brainstorm ideas and ask questions, will be held at 9 a.m. Tuesday, Oct. 1 at Hotel Ketchum.
