Hikers and cyclists will have another trail to enjoy in the Akron area as work is set to begin on the Rubber City Heritage Trail this fall.
When finished, the 6-mile trail will provide a link between the city’s east and south ends via an abandoned railway. The trail will begin near the former Goodyear campus on Market Street in Middlebury, extend towards the University of Akron campus and move Southeast to connect with the Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath Trail.
“The city is certainly trying to grow our bicycle network,” Capper said. “This Rubber City Heritage Trail would kind of connect these neighborhoods from the east, on the east side of town, kind of through the University of Akron, through some of these other neighborhoods, and then eventually into the Towpath Trail.”
Part of the trail includes the former Akron-Barberton Belt elevated railway corridor, a ten-foot-wide pathway that will be retrofitted to accommodate both hikers and bikers.
