The Jamaica North Trail Project
This trail will run from Calvert Street in Lincoln to connect to the Homestead Trail and south to Beatrice and possibly into Kansas. Phase I of this project (Calvert St. to Saltillo) is currently under construction and should be ready for use this fall. The Homestead Trail to Cortland is slated for construction in the spring of 2007. Funds are in place for both of these segments. However, we need funds for the construction of Phase II of the Jamaica North Trail, the two-mile section that runs north from Calvert Street to J Street.
This northern portion of the Jamaica North Trail links several south-Lincoln neighborhoods to the downtown Haymarket area, thus making it possible for hundreds of downtown employees to bicycle or walk to work. The West A neighborhood will be connected via the A St Bridge; the South Salt Creek neighborhood borders both sides of the trail corridor. As well as creating an essential neighborhood link, this trail will also provide access to Standing Bear and Sawyer Snell Parks, and Sherman Field. As an urban trail, it will have a concrete surface, similar to others in the urban areas of Lincoln.
We need your support to help build this link!
The Great Plains Trails Network has committed its efforts to raising the
$275,000 needed as a match required in applying for federal grant monies.
Please consider a sizable gift to GPTN to make this critical link possible.
Your timely and generous donation towards this match will move Lincoln one
crucial step closer to the dream becoming a reality.
