Purpose & Explanation

The Akron Secondary Trail (Akron to Hudson), which is planned to run along the abandoned railroad in Hudson from Barlow Road to Seasons Road, is being recommended by the County Executive (see attached letter) to be divided into two separate projects.  The second phase of the trail, which includes the portion through Hudson, is schedule in the future.

The City Staff is pursuing a meeting with the County Executive’s Staff in the coming week to further understand the reasoning of this recommendation and to respond to the letter. 

Staff will meet with Council to answer any questions on this matter and explain our next steps going forward.
