After months of repairs — and an initial delay to ensure nesting eagles weren’t disturbed — Otter Creek Road at Radnor Lake is expected to reopen Saturday, Nov. 15.
The project repaired damage dating back to the historic 2010 flood and added new guardrails to the only trail where pets, joggers, and bikes are allowed. This week marks peak fall colors, but there should still be plenty of autumn leaves to enjoy by reopening weekend.
Perenn, which operates bakery and cafe locations in Berry Hill and Franklin, is expanding with a new concept. Perenn Grocery is set to open next spring in Wedgewood-Houston’s Wedgewood Village development with baked goods, prepared foods, and locally sourced groceries.
