Cascade Phase 2A – The Towpath Trail connection into downtown will begin where the Cascade Locks Bikeway – Phase I ends, just above lock 10. The bikeway will generally follow the westerly side of Martin Luther King Boulevard (State Route 59), cross under the Rand Avenue Exit Ramp, bridge over State Route 59 on a new separate bridge and terminate at the intersection of Quaker Street and Ash Street. The target date for completion July 2008 |
Replace Bartges Street Bridge- The project consists of demolishing the existing 4 lane bridge structure, and constructing two new pre-manufactured concrete bridges that will allow for the canal bridge and bikeway underpass to coexist as separate adjacent bridge structures. Ultimately this will provide the pedestrian/bikeway crossing under Bartges Street avoiding a traffic conflict. The target date is 2009 for construction to start.
Summit Lake Towpath Trail & Kenmore Towpath Summit Lake Towpath Trail will be constructed the southwesterly side of the baseball/softball diamonds at Summit Lake Park near Long Street. It will be constructed along the easterly side of Summit Lake to Lewis Street. At this point there will be an at-grade floating trail extending from the Summit Lake shoreline at Lewis Street to Kenmore Boulevard. This floating section shall include a 42' by 40' observation deck located near the midpoint of the span.
Kenmore Towpath Trail will be constructed along the east shoreline of the Ohio & Erie Canal, from the south shoreline of the Kenmore Boulevard bridge to approximately 150 feet south of the Wilbeth Road Bridge. A pre-fabricated bridge structure will span Sweitzer Creek. Floating deck sections will span the canal from Kenmore Boulevard to the CSX railroad bridge, as well as from the Akron Barberton Cluster Railway to the south side of Falor Creek. These two sections will be under construction in 2008
