Board records trail and riverwalk connectivity priorities in plan edits
Summary
Minutes of the Feb. 5 meeting record recommended pedestrian/bike paths, a proposed Port Ontario route, and coordination with DOT and DEC to extend Salmon River Greenway connections under I-81 and toward Selkirk Shores State Park.
The board's recorded edits to the joint comprehensive plan include several paragraphs emphasizing regional trail and riverwalk connections. The minutes describe a proposed pedestrian/bike path parallel to County Route 5 to Port Ontario with interpretive signage, linkage of north-side Salmon River walkway to the "Black Hole scenic area" and Bridge Street, and suggested cooperation with Selkirk Shores State Park to reuse an abandoned railroad bed for trails.
The minutes also call for continued coordination with DOT and DEC to extend Salmon River Greenway trails under the I-81 bridges on the river's north bank. These items were entered as plan language and preserved or added during the page edits; no implementation schedule or funding allocation was recorded at the meeting.
