Big improvements are in the near future for Washtenaw County's
Border to Border Trail
.
The Washtenaw County Road Commission's 5-year Capital Improvement Plan calls for building two sections along the 35-mile trail in the next five years.
The plan first calls for constructing a section between Hudson Mills and Dexter in 2010. That will cost $1.474 million. A second section between Dexter and a Delhi Mills Metropark is set for 2013. The price tag for that is $800,000.
About 15 miles of the 35-mile trail, stretching from the northwest corner of the county to the southeast corner, is done. The trail runs through Dexter, Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti with the latest additions coming in Ypsi.
There are completed segments in Ypsilanti, Dexter and Ann Arbor. Maps of those open trails can be found here.
The idea behind the Border to Border Trail is not only to provide recreational options in the county, but also create another path for economic opportunity. Supporters say the trail will serve as way to connect users to the cities (and their businesses) the trail passes through.
