Project Description:
This project is creating a 10’ wide trail that runs along the east/north side of NW Beaver Drive from the north City limits to NW 66^th Avenue. At NW 66^th Avenue, the trail will cross to the south side of the road and connect into a trail link east of Beaver Drive. This trail link will utilize a newly-constructed Kempton Bridge (Sycamore Access) with a pedestrian crossing to connect to the Neal Smith trail system.

Phase 4 = Will be designed in 2018-19 and constructed in 2019-20 as a part of the Beaver Drive overlay project from Merle Hay Road to the south/southeast. Please notice the solid lines are actual off-street trail portions and the dashed section is a protected bike lane.
