Connecting Durham to Roxboro via this trail would make this region one of the most connected segments of the East Coast Greenway. Simply getting this done would be a tremendous achievement and enhance non-vehicular travel & tourism for our community.

The Downtown Durham Rail Trail was hamstrung for many reasons, and ultimately delayed for a decade-plus, with massive cost overruns. Please move expeditiously to avoid the same issues that plagued that project and ensure that a generation of residents doesn't miss out on this enhancing their communities & their lives.

will be important to include funding for construction of direct linkages to the key job, education, park and cultural sites noted along the trail corridor as well as neighborhood access points. Some of the existing parking like at Durham Tech or in Treyburn could also serve as key trailhead access points.

I think combining this with the downtown rail trail and the American Tobacco Trail makes this an incredibly long and unique corridor. If we could be smart about connecting to neighborhoods, schools, libraries, and future commercial spaces, we could create a greenway oriented development model that could be the envy of the country.

No really I want to re-emphasize the possibilities for sustainable greenway oriented development. This is one of the things we can really lean on in the near term until we have public transit. I currently don't use a car and am able to go from downtown Durham to Southpoint Mall or visit my mom in Cary without biking on dangerous streets due to the American Tobacco Trail. I want this for my neighbors to the north, as well as the opportunity for new local business that can grow a customer base that isn't car dependent.

Trail width is important. Durham trails and bikeways are pretty narrow. For example, when the ATT goes into wake county, it goes from an asphalt to packed dirt trail and doubles in width. It becomes very pleasant at that point and is something Durham trails do not have at all. I'd prefer an asphalt trail, but if packed dirt is required to make it wider, that's my vote.

Tying into our local walking trails would also be incredibly useful and unique for the areas. You either need to be very comfortable riding a bike around cars, or you need to drive to do any walking/hiking trails. Having some form of fitness connectivity would be amazing for this area.

Connectivity to walking and hiking trails, along with protected bike lane networks would make the trail orders of magnitude more useful. Either way, I'm very excited for this project and to explore more of the area not in a car.

Provide signs that tell something about the human and natural history of the places the trail will pass through. What was here before (show old photos and maps), what can trail users see now (birds, wildlife, etc.). What are some stories of the people who lived and worked and rode the train through here before? Horton Grove has done a good job of this.

Brightleaf trail (reference to tobacco industry that this rail line was used for, both agricultural and industrial, and by extension cultural), or Golden Belt trail, or Red Mountain trail (referencing Rougemont, which is roughly in the middle between Durham and Roxoboro) or Two Rivers trail (referencing Little River and Flat River, that it goes between)

How long will it take to bring it to fruition? It seemed like it took years (decades?!) for the ATT to be completed, and is taking just as long for the Beltline trail. How can this trail be completed more quickly?

Historic/cultural signage. people drive a ways to get to a great trail! I would be biking there every weekend!

When will it be done?? I was really excited about the ATT, but it crosses over many streets and you have to stop and wait for a light every block or so at the start. I would drive north to get to a good trail.

Walking Bicycling Have some hiking/walking trails accessed from the new greenway. Picnic tables along the greenway would be good for stopping/resting/eating snacks & sandwiches & for taking a break. A port-a-potty/restroom facility SOMEWHERE along this greenway is needed.

Having art and signage along the trail is awesome. I always love seeing the giant dinosaur on the trail by the Museum of Life and Science. Unique local art would make the trail more appealing.

What sort of facilities would this have on the crossings with the East Coast Greenway and the Mountains to Sea trail?

It could be really great to add facilities at the intersections with other major trails, and be able to build a very long trail out of connection to the American Tobacco Trail. I would love to bike this.

Just build it. Stop with this extended planning phase and just prioritize build the backbone of the trail. Durham loves to plan and plan and plan and never build a thing. I'm talking about the Durham Beltline Trail (or whatever we are calling it nowadays) that continues to be indefinitely delayed 5+ years after securing the right of way.

Whatever rich person who is willing to fork over the money to actually build this thing. What it is called is the least of my concerns. Just get it built.

Would there be a future plan to connect the trail to other parts of North Durham - where biking is not currently very accessible?

Please consider how this could encourage local businesses. This area is overrun with chains, car washes and gas stations. A walkable restaurant or brewery would be a game changer for this area.

Don't overthink it… please let's just make this happen. It would be a great asset for North Durham and Durham as a whole.

This would be a great asset for the community. But let's keep our eyes on the prize; don't get bogged down in “making it unique� by inviting too many cooks in the kitchen. That's when things get messy, expensive, complicated, delayed, and ultimately “deferred indefinitely.� Good luck!

Public access or near by access for fishing areas and/or kayak put-in's. Information pamphlets for local businesses, attractions, fun facts, and events for Person County and Durham County near trail head maps and parking areas

Locations and distance between trail heads, what does the parking situation look if any along the trail, who/what agency is responsible for maintain the trail, does trail maintenance present any job opportunity, how will trail construction and maintenance be paid for

Being a born and raised in Roxboro and almost a decade long citizen of Durham my hope is that this trail is an opportunity to build relations, apperception and growth between the 2 counties, that Person County isn't just a small hick town and Durham isn't a crime riddled shadowland like they portray each other to be. A chance for families in rural parts of both counties to have public access to fun and peace in nature that may otherwise be out of reach
