How will they surface the trail from NC54 to the Chatham County line?
• This is also part of Phase E- total distance is about 3.8 miles. • The plan is to pave a 10-foot wide trail from NC54 to Scott King Road, which would match the current cross-section north of NC54 (3.2 miles). • DOST and TRTC also asked for a combined asphalt/granite screenings surface (dual surface trail) from the Chatham county line to Scott King Road (about six-tenths of a mile), as this surface type is being built in Chatham county. The city asked for a secondary design to include this surface type, and will bid it out with the dual surface and without it. Costs and bids will dictate which is actually built. • DOST asked for a dual surface trail from Massey Chapel Road to Scott King Road, but the city said there wasn’t funding for it. • TRTC, DOST and others would like there to be a parking lot at Scott King road, which could service equestrian users. However, part of the reason for having a granite screening surface is to accommodate joggers and walkers, not just horses.
