Committee weighs Enon walking trail route and cost estimate
Summary
Members discussed a walking/nature trail tying into existing Enon Park paths and a north‑side loop; the chair said completing the full north‑side circle would cost about $1.7 million and urged opening remaining trail segments as soon as feasible.
Committee members reviewed plans for a walking trail that would connect to the existing path in Enon Park and run along the north side of the creek, with a potential pedestrian bridge mentioned as part of future engineering work. The chair said the committee expects to open a portion of the walking path this spring and emphasized that phased improvements would allow public use while larger work is planned.
"To make this entire circle you're talking about 1.7 mil just on the the the north side of the creek," the chair said when discussing full-loop costs. Members discussed surfacing options (grindings, mulch, grass) and ADA considerations; grindings were described as a compacted surface that can be wheelchair‑accessible once installed.
The committee flagged access points on the south side and discussed buffer strips and a potential small bridge location; members asked the village to prioritize funds and pursue grants to advance construction in phases. No formal funding commitment was made at the meeting; next steps are grant searches and preparing phasing plans.
