The Dayton City Parks Commission on Jan. 7 voted to advance a full trail connection between Ion Gardens and Pine View Meadows and directed staff to ask the City Council to authorize preparation of plans and specifications for a 2025 build.
The commission’s decision follows a presentation by Jason, the project presenter, who described the segment as “the last piece” of a continuous pedestrian connection from L.C. Stevens Park to Elm Creek Park. Jason said the East–West trail segment from Brookshire to the Vinewood connection is estimated at roughly $585,000 and that construction of a pedestrian landing and associated road widening at North Diamond Lake Road would add several hundred thousand dollars more. He presented a high-level estimate that the full project would be about $1 million if constructed now rather than coordinated with a county reconstruction in 2029.
