This segment of The Portage to be constructed will begin at a trailhead on the east side of Middlebury Road. The trail will continue east to an existing aggregate trail within Fred Fuller Park.

The project includes the construction of a multi-use trail facility consisting of a 10’ wide asphalt trail on grade, a 176’ bridge crossing the Cuyahoga River and 750’ of boardwalk.

                                                             

The Tannery Segment will provide local access, along the Cuyahoga River, between Fred Fuller and Tannery Parks.  Possible construction of a boardwalk, bridge and/or retaining wall exists.

Multiple alternates are being explored to determine the best alignment.  Factors that are being considered as part of the alternate alignment study include; environmental impact, historical impact, construction and maintenance cost, trail experience, utility involvement and impact to adjoining property.

 

Project Status:
  • Preliminary design stage
  • Alternates are being evaluated
  • Public meeting to be held in February 2010
