Last segment of Ohio River Trail to connect Anderson with East End

A 2.2-mile shared-use trail will be constructed adjacent to Kellogg Avenue between Salem and Sutton roads. The new segment of the Ohio River Trail would connect the existing trail at Salem Road, near Magrish Nature Preserve, to a piece at Sutton Road near Coney Island in Anderson Township.
 
Once finished, the trail will connect Five Mile Road at Kellogg to Corbin Street in the East End. The conceptual design for the trail includes a 2-foot wide grass strip between the trail and property line, with a 12-foot wide asphalt trail and a 6-foot wide buffer space between the trail and the street.
 
When completed, the Ohio River Trail will span 23 miles along the north bank of the Ohio River from Coney Island through downtown to Sayler Park. It will connect neighborhoods to downtown and the park, and complete the connection from downtown to Little Miami Scenic Trail, which will eventually extend to Lake Erie.
 
Construction is still a few years away, but city officials are gathering feedback from residents and property owners along the route. Feedback can be given here.
 
The plan will be presented to the public in October.
