Project Description
Fort Wayne Trails Activities: Fort Wayne Trails is acting as a partner and project coordinator for Allen County trail projects, and has successfully advocated for county funding during 2018 for engineering. Parkview has donated funding for this project as well. This will be a 10′ trail on the north side of Union Chapel Road, from the existing trail west of Auburn Road to the Life Bridge Church Trailhead and Pufferbelly Trail, just west of Corbin Road. Engineering studies have been completed. Parkview has donated $90,000 to help with trail construction. In January 2025 NACS voted to donate the remaining right of way to Allen County. In agreement for the donation of the ROW, Fort Wayne Trails has committed to assist NACS with a sidewalk connection from the trail with a new crosswalk in front of Maple Creek Middle School. The sidewalk eliminates concerns from the school board for a safe connection to the school.
This project is being broken into two phases from Life Bridge Church to Coldwater Road and Coldwater Road to Auburn Road. Continuing to identify construction dollars for Phase 1.
