Saw this posted on another forum.  Is that road along the banks where the new river trail will be located?  Should look pretty good once they install trees/landscaping.


Got a non-broken version?

This?

Yes that will be the trail.  The landscaping is more subdued than as shown but I believe it will be very nice.  That is also not the final design for the pool area.

Will the trail be smooth asphalt/concrete like the rest of the system (as opposed to the stylized pavers shown). I can certainly live with it for a 1/4 mile on a bike, but it would sure suck for skate boards or roller skates. Let alone anyone on a scooter or those hover board things.

I'm pretty excited for the new trail behind the casino to open up. Stroke of genius by the Nation: eliminates traffic/trail user concerns, makes trail users happy, and adds life to the back of the building. Coupled with water in the river, and what I hear is a really neat pool design, could be really neat. Hope they make it easy to stop for a cool beverage from the trail.

If they put a dome over it, we could actually have the palm trees!

I don't share my thoughts because I think it will change the minds of people who think differently.  I share my thoughts to show the people who already think like me that they are not alone.

It will be smoooooth asphalt like the rest of the trail system.  The section from behind the parking garage to about the theater (south end) is constructed to serve as both the trail and emergency access with fire dept. gates for access.

It was designed to the new River Parks trail standard and will be a 20' wide single trail due to space constraints.

Not pavers as shown in the rendering ... that's good ... not good that pavers are shown in the rendering, but good that the final product will be relatively smooth asphalt pavement, not unit pavers, which don't provide a good walking surface.
