The Carey school district is asking for less money from a “Safe Routes to School” grant. The Courier reports the school board has dropped a plan to build a a multi-use bicycling, walking and jogging path through Memorial Park.

The changes reduce the cost of the safety upgrade project to around $306,000. The board hopes lowering the cost of the work improves the chances of the state approving a grant to help pay for it.
