Public Works Director (217) 345-5650 (217) 235-5654 [email protected] [email protected] 2017 Beautification Development Plan CONTENTS Introduction and Background ……………………………………………………………………….…………………………..……. 1 Lincoln Prairie Grass Trail Plan Summary …………………………………………………………………………………..……. 6 Section 1: General Considerations …………………………………………………………..………………………………..……… 7 Section 2: Site Specific Improvements [East of Loxa Road / City of Charleston] …………………………….… 19 Page 1 Lincoln Prairie Grass Trail INTRODUCTION Purpose Statement The City of Charleston and the City of Mattoon (in Coles County) are in the process of working with the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) through an Illinois Transportation Enhancement Program (ITEP) grant to make improvements to the Lincoln Prairie Grass Trail that connects the 2 cities. The trail is currently a mostly crushed limestone trail, but the ITEP grant would be used to pave the trail with asphalt and will connect the Amtrak Train Station in Mattoon with Eastern Illinois University in Charleston. As Phase 2 of this Lincoln Prairie Grass trail improvement project, the cities are formulating a “beautification development plan” for the entire trail which includes cultural, natural, historical and recreational improvements to make the trail a transportation “experience”; while still performing its multi-modal function. BACKGROUND Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act / Federal Program Funds (1994) In February 1994, the cities of Charleston and Mattoon were awarded Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act “ISTEA” funds ($511,200) for the construction of a crushed limestone "Lincoln Prairie Grass Trail" which was completed and currently exists between the two cities.

This number is a special edition by the History Department. .. Charles H. Coleman FOREWORD Texas has produced many notable personalities; I should like to add to that list the name of Charles Hubert Coleman, to whom this issue of the University Bulletin is dedicated. Charlie came from a family that suffered from writer's itch: his grandfather, his father, and his mother were all authors of books. His father felt that he had missed much in life because he was not clever with tools, and for that reason he determined that his son should not suffer from that same handicap. As a boy Charlie was exposed to a great variety of courses in manual arts.

  • “I Used to Be a Slave”: Boyhood and Adolescence in Indiana (1816-1830)
    Chapter Two “I Used to be a Slave”: Boyhood and Adolescence in Indiana (1816-1830) In 1817, a British traveler described Indiana as “a vast forest, larger than England, just penetrated in places, by the back-wood settlers, who are half hunters, half farmers.”i Late in the previous year, Thomas Lincoln, his wife, and their two children entered the Buck Horn Valley of that state, which had just been admitted to the Union.ii The family’s journey from Kentucky was arduous, relentlessly exposing them to the rigors of camping out on cold winter nights. Upon reaching their new home site, the little i Elias Pym Fordham, Personal Narrative of Travels in Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky and of a Residence in the Illinois Territory, 1817-1818 (Cleveland: Augustus H. Clarke, 1906), quoted in R. Carlyle Buley, The Old Northwest: Pioneer Period, 1815-1840 (2 vols.; Bloomington: Indiana University Press, 1950), 1:24. ii There is much controversy about the exact route the family took from Kentucky to Indiana. See, for example, “Proceedings of Hearing Held before the Special Committee Appointed to Recommend the Proper Routing of the Proposed Lincoln National Memorial Highway,” typescript, Abraham Lincoln Association reference files, folder “Lincoln Memorial Highway,” Lincoln Presidential Library, Springfield; George H.
