32 miles of riverfront trails will connect 17 towns along Allegheny River
Mar 3, 2010A series of meetings this week will address riverfront trails linking 17 communities along the north shore of the Allegheny River.
Residents in the communities along the proposed 32-mile trail may learn more about the trail study conducted in 2009 at three public meetings: one last night in Millvale; one Wed., March 3, 6-8 p.m. at the Alle-Kiski Museum, 224 E. 7th Ave. in Tarentum; and one Sat., March 6, 1-3 p.m., at the Boyd Community Center, 1220 Powers Run Rd in O'Hara Township.
"The discussions hope to engage each individual community to understand what the trail can offer them, where it will be, and how we plan to move forward," says Tom Baxter with Friends of the Riverfront. "As with any development project, we need ideas on which projects are ready to go and ideas on funding, and once trail segments are built, we need volunteers to help maintain them."
