This week the City Council authorized funding for an engineering plan to connect the section of trail under construction at Hugh Howell Marketplace, at the corner of Hugh Howell Rd and Mountain Industrial Blvd, all the way to the intersection of Hugh Howell Rd and Marthasville Ct. Completing this segment of the trail network will give hundreds of residents and families the option of walking or biking to school or work and to enjoy shopping and dining a little closer to home. Earlier this year the Friends of Tucker PATH Board of Directors discussed the significance of implementing this segment. We appreciate Mayor Frank Auman’s support in bringing it to the City Council and making it a priority in the planned 32-mile network.
