Ribbon-Cutting May 22nd

4/28/10 by Ohio Bikeways

A grand re-opening celebration for the refurbished trail is set for May 22 from 11am - 3pm on W. Washington Street in Union Township, PA. The 7-mile PA portion of the trail underwent resurfacing, drainage work and bridge replacements in late 2009.

A ribbon-cutting was held last fall, but it was thought that few were aware of the event, so it is being held again.

It is hoped that Ohio will improve the remaining 3-mile section of the trail within its borders.

Trail Construction

Sections of the Stavich Bike Trail are under construction -- especially the Lowellville, Ohio part. Work is expected to be completed fall of '09.

The works consists of bridge replacement, resurfacing and ditch cleaning. The section of the trail just east of Lowellville, OH, is especially subject to surface water erosion. The section of the trail through town to the west of Lowellville is fine.

Repairs & Quaint Towns

Some of the wooden bridges have been repaired or replaced...

...Glad to hear you think my home town is a quaint old style town and to let you know it is. If it wasn't for the train tracks it would be a small quiet town all the time.
