“We want to connect the neighborhoods on the northeast side with city parks,” said City Manager Chris Pozzuto.
The funds, if awarded, would allow the city to receive up to 80 percent of the project’s non-acquisition costs for reimbursement, according to City Planner Dan Boron.
The application supports the construction of a 3,800 foot long, 10-foot wide multiuse trail from E. Milo Beck Park to the city corporation line on West Factory Road, Segment D of the Central Greenway concept, Boron said.
He said it’s “a trail that will ultimately connect six Springboro parks to neighborhoods and commercial districts, and to the regional trail network to the southwest in Franklin and northeast in southern Montgomery County.”
Boron said the application supports the recommendations of the Bicycle & Pedestrian Plan adopted by City Council in July 2020. Construction is anticipated in 2025.
