Board Approves Funding for
Construction of the Linear Trail

The Board of Trustees approved a resolution funding the construction of the Linear Trail Connection Project during Tuesday night’s meeting.  This trail connection will increase trail connectivity, improve circulation and encourage alternative forms of transportation to/from the downtown area.  The trail will be located between High Street and the alley, south of Coal Miners Park.  It is anticipated that the construction for this project will begin this summer and be completed by the fall. 
 
Background: In April 2017, the Board of Trustees authorized a contract with Wenk Associates to complete a master plan and construction documents for the Linear Trail Connection.  It has been the Town’s and Board of Trustees vision to complete this project.  The conceptual master plan was approved by the Board of Trustees on January 23, 2018 and staff was directed to move forward with final construction documents.
