New ATT Connector at Dallas Street

For several years we’ve been working with the Parks and Public Works staffs in Durham to put in a sidewalk connector from Dallas Street. In the next few weeks the City is scheduled to do a major clean-up of the existing dirt culvert to remove small trees, brush and accumulated trash, install 16’ of concrete culverts, cover these culverts to about 4” below the level of the ATT, and perform minor grading of the grassy area to prepare it for sidewalk forms. Using donations from the Tobacco Road Marathon and many individual donors, TRTC will fund the building of a 7’ wide sidewalk that will notably improve trail access for area residents. This access way will connect on the east side of the ATT just south of the bridge at S. Roxboro Road. We’ll post photos and progress notes after work on the site commences.
