ATT

It appears that the strong public reaction to Dominion's pipeline proposal and possibly other technical factors have prompted Dominion to rescind their request to use the ATT rail corridor for a new pipeline connector. NCDOT announced on June 2:
"The N.C. Department of Transportation learned yesterday that Dominion Energy has rescinded the request to utilize NCDOT right of way along the American Tobacco Trail for a pipeline. For additional information about Dominion Energy’s proposed pipeline, please contact Persida Montanez with Dominion Energy communications at Persida.montanez@dominionenergy.com. "
Cary and Durham have been notified that Dominion will be evaluating other alignments over the next 60 days. After that is completed some form of public engagement will be scheduled.

Due to the sub-freezing temperatures on November 12 through 14, we opted to shut down our fountain to avoid freeze damage to the internal hoses and brass parts vulnerable to freeze damage. Weather permitting, we'll re-open it in late March. The fountains at the New Hope Church Road trailhead have also been shut down but the faucets in the restrooms are still on.

The White Oak Greenway opening ceremony will be held at 2 pm on March 9th, 2019. This new greenway has been under construction for several years and the final sections were completed late in 2018. It connects with the ATT just north of the Wimberly Road parking area at ~mile 18.25. Give it a try, its all hard surface but has lots of boardwalks and is a bit different than the ATT. This greenway is 7.3 miles long and ends at Bond Park at High House Road.

We have just posted updated maps of the ATT (see left hand sidebar) showing mile points, water access and other info for all three counties as well as connections for the nearby greenways in Durham. Among other changes, we added notes about the recently completed White Oak Creek trail which now connects with the ATT just north of the Wimberly Road parking area. Give it a try, its all hard surface but has lots of boardwalks and is a bit different than the ATT. As previously, our maps are in PDF format and can be printed. Hard copies of these maps are generally available at the trail kiosks at Scott-King Road, O'Kelly Chapel Road and by the rest room bulletin board at the New Hope Church Road trailhead. Copies are also available at the REI stores in Durham and Cary.
