Darryl Johnson briefed GMC members on the plan during the organization’s Monday meeting.
“We are so excited that the progression of the trail has grown into what we are doing today,” said Johnson.
“We have seen, in the past year more than ever before, the importance of green spaces, including trails and parks,” said Taylor.
It’s a project they have been working on for almost a decade. In 2013, the partners, standing at what was then an abandoned rail line, announced the first major funding commitment, a $350,000 grant, to support the construction of a completely off-street northern leg from E. Keefe Ave. to W. Capitol Dr. It opened in 2015.
