SUMMARY AND BACKGROUND OF SUBJECT MATTER:
In the 2016 Trails, Natural Areas and Community Character Fund budget, $18,000.00 was appropriated for the construction of an additional single track trail called the “Blackline Trail” in Sunset West Open Space. I am pleased to announce that construction will begin in mid-May on this additional trail. As with the earlier trails, Erie Single Track Advocates are leading the effort to get this trail completed and will help oversee the trail construction as well as contribute many volunteer maintenance hours. It is expected that the trail should be completed and ready for use by the end of June, weather permitting. This is the final single track trail segment on the East portion of the property that has been identified and approved. It is the Town of Erie’s plan to intersect this amenity with the Town’s Spine Trail, as noted in the updated 2016 Recreation Trail Map with PROST future Spine Trails.
