Conceptually, what will the trail look like?
The intent is to follow the existing railbed footprint on publicly owned property, minimizing ground disturbance. The trail will be designed to minimize conflicts between user groups and with adjacent property owners. Where possible, the trail surface will be compacted gravel, 8’ wide with 1’ shoulders. It will be approximately 11,000 linear feet in length. Public access points will be through Packsaddle Park and Niagara Park. There is one significant water crossing that will likely be spanned by a bridge. Culverts will be utilized for narrow or seasonal water crossings. Signage and existing vegetation will be used to keep users on the trail. It will be clear where the public trail is and where it is not.
