Executive Summary
The purpose of this project was to determine the
opinions of area residents and business owners
along Train Avenue about the proposed
extension of the Towpath Trail through the Train
Avenue Corridor
Findings:
Train Avenue is in need of help – any and every kind of help
All feel that the area is unsafe on many levels due to lack of lighting,
accumulated trash and debris, indigent people, poor road conditions, and
drainage problems
Business owners want additional security and enforcement by city and
police
Residents want a focus on the neighborhoods
Towpath extension is a good idea, but other issues should be addressed
first
Train Avenue has been neglected for far too long, and needs to be
addressed
