Project Budget:
$1,194,000
Project Schedule:
Design Start Date October 2009
Construction
Start Date March 2012
Project Finish September 2012
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.
In 2009, the Cuyahoga River segment of the Portage was opened ending at the
south end of Fred Fuller Park. This next phase will continue the trail from
Fred Fuller, along the river, to the John Brown Tannery Park.
Multiple
alternates were
explored to determine the best alignment. Factors that
were
considered as part of the alternate alignment study
included;
environmental impact, historical impact, construction and maintenance cost,
trail experience, utility involvement and impact to adjoining property.
Project Status:
- Design stage
- Alternates were evaluated
- Public meeting was held on June 29, 2010
