North Manchester Trail Now Open
July 28, 2016 at 4:25 p.m.
By Staff Report-
Manchester Main Street’s Manchester PATH Group committee and North Manchester Parks and Recreation will host a Community Trail Network opening ceremony Sunday from 2 to 4 p.m. at the Strauss Peabody Aquatics and Fitness Center, 902 N. Market St.
Family activities, refreshments and CTN map brochures will be available. PATH also will be providing helmet-fitting demonstrations and bicycle safety education. Guests can also enter a drawing to win giveaways including new bikes, helmets, bicycling gear and T-shirts.
The Community Trail Network is a 14-mile multi-purpose recreational route connecting North Manchester’s parks, schools, retirement communities, neighborhoods, businesses and landmarks. In 2012, PATH formed an alliance with NMPR to develop and execute a five-phase construction plan and funding strategy to bring the 1999 CTN Master Plan to fruition.
Phase I, installation of the signage and sharrows, was completed in fall 2013, providing the skeleton upon which to build future phases. Construction costs were covered by the MMS Special Project Fund, a town improvement restricted fund created by revenue generated from the downtown engraved paver sales.
Project installation was a combination of donated Street Department and volunteer labor. To support MMS’ town improvement efforts by becoming a member, visit www.manchestermainstreet.org to download a 2014 Membership Form.
