FULTON, NY – The City of Fulton will host a public outreach meeting on Tuesday, March 13 at 7 p.m. in the upstairs courtroom of the Fulton Municipal Building located at 141 South First Street to gather input on the multi-use walking trail feasibility study currently underway.
The study, once complete, will outline the development of seven multi-use trails in the City of Fulton.
The public is invited to view preliminary sketches and provide valuable input on the future planned trails.
This project advances the completion of the local trail network first proposed in the City of Fulton’s comprehensive plan.
The goal of the trails is to improve pedestrian and bicycle circulation in the city, direct more people to the city’s parks and other public amenities, showcase Fulton’s history, create more opportunities for public art, and improve public access to the City’s waterfronts.
This study will include the conceptual designs of five trail segments identified by the city during previous planning efforts.
In addition, the study will provide architectural and engineering plans for the continuation of Fulton’s Canal Towpath/Pathfinder Trail and the Canalview Bridge Walk.
The study will suggest trail scale and materials, trail amenities such as lighting, landscaping, benches, informational kiosks and identification of public art opportunities.
In 2016, the City of Fulton was awarded a $61,500 grant from the New York State Department of State to complete the study.
Last year, the city contracted with Environmental Design & Research (EDR), the firm that is providing architectural and engineering services for the study.
As part of the grant, the city is also updating its draft Local Waterfront Revitalization Plan which will help the city plan for the future of its waterways and help the city qualify for additional grant dollars in the future.
