Final piece of Dupont trail gets initial OK
DEVAN FILCHAK | The Journal Gazette
The plan to complete the Dupont Road Trail is in motion after receiving support from Fort Wayne City Council on Tuesday.
The council gave the ordinance initial approval during a committee meeting. The section of the trail is only about a third of a mile, but Dawn Ritchie, the city s greenways manager, said it will create connectivity within the Fort Wayne trails system, including a direct connection to the Pufferbelly Trail.
The last piece of the trail, along the south side of Dupont between Coldwater and Pine Mills roads, will be 8 feet wide. The $365,796.40 project will include curb ramps that are compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act, drainage structures, a bus pad, a park bench, crosswalks and sidewalk connections.
