Cuyahoga Valley National Park » Rockside Road Boarding Area Parking Expansion and Trail Bridge over Cuyahoga River » Document List
The historic Valley Railway is one of the resources maintained at Cuyahoga Valley National Park. The Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railway is a not-for-profit organization that operates passenger excursion trains on the Valley Railway. The northern boarding area is located off Old Rockside Road in Independence, Cuyahoga County, Ohio. The project will expand and improve the existing 149 space gravel parking area by 70 additional spaces to accommodate increase use and future train service to Cleveland. The boarding area platform will be expanded by 120-feet to allow visitors to board the train without blocking Old Rockside Road and local businesses. A trail bridge over the Cuyahoga River will allow pedestrian and bicycle access from the boarding area to Lock 39 Trailhead servicing the Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath Trail.
