Richmond Breaks Ground on Fall Line Trail

News summary

Richmond, Virginia, has officially broken ground on a 13-mile section of the Fall Line Trail, a 43-mile multi-use path designed to connect communities from Petersburg to Ashland. The ceremony, led by Mayor Levar Stoney, highlighted the trail's potential to enhance economic development and recreational opportunities across the region. While many celebrate the project's benefits, some community groups, like Citizens for a Responsible Fall Line Trail, have expressed concerns over the chosen path through Bryan Park, arguing it will lead to increased pavement and tree root damage. The Richmond segment is part of a larger $300 million project expected to be completed by 2035, with local sections anticipated to finish within a year. Amenities such as parking, restrooms, and picnic areas will be available at Bryan Park, which will serve as a key trailhead. The initiative aims to promote outdoor activities and improve accessibility across the city and surrounding areas.
