New Sandusky Bay Pathway segment open; railroad coordination and utility moves remain major hurdles
Summary
Staff reported the new pathway from Cedar Point Drive to the Landing is open and in heavy use; additional West End sections have design and partial funding but must clear railroad approvals and utility coordination before construction can proceed to 2028.
Staff reported the newly opened pathway segment from Cedar Point Drive to the Landing has seen strong use on social media and in person. "We opened that new portion from Cedar Point Drive over to the landing... It's been great. We see people on the TikToks and the social medias... using it," the presenter said.
Staff said designs are complete for additional West End portions and that the city will apply for state grant matches this fall. The primary obstacles for those segments remain railroad approvals and utility relocations; committee members discussed crossing treatments, quiet zones and anti-drive-around measures and noted the significant cost and complexity of installing additional gates or building an overpass.
