TRUMBULL COUNTY, OH - Trumbull County bicyclists may get more room to bike through the area following a proposal from Trumbull County Commissioners and the Metroparks District.

The proposal would create 3.5 miles of asphalt multi-purpose trail from the northern terminus at the Niles Greenway Trail south of State Route 169 to the southern terminus of the Warren Greenway Trail at Burton Street SE.

The project would use a combination of on-street and off-street trail sections in Niles, Warren, Howland and Weathersfield.

The on-street sections will include new trail signs and a five-foot concrete walkway along Burton Street.

Off-street trail sections would include a 10-foot wide trail with the majority of it adjacent to and east of Niles Warren River Road.

The project would comply with ADA standards and include other improvements including new sidewalks, culverts and drainage improvements.

The project is on schedule to begin in 2022.
