Metro Parks, Serving Summit County (Metro Parks) manages a 32-mi. bike and hike trail across northeast Summit County. Most of the trail is located on converted railroad bed; however, to get across Interstate 271, a dangerous, one-mile stretch of Brandywine Road must be navigated.
Metro Parks is proposing to design and construct a safe trail connection across Interstate 271 (Brandywine Connector). Metro Parks has completed an ecological survey for a 117-acre study area encompassing possible alternatives for the proposed Brandywine Connector, located in Northfield Center Township, Ohio.
Much of the study area is composed of lands owned by NPS within the jurisdictional boundaries of Cuyahoga Valley National Park. Several of the alternatives being examined involve trail construction NPS lands. An Environmental Assessment (EA) was prepared to assess the environmental impacts of the alternatives.
This document underwent public review from July 16, 2008 to August 25, 2008.
A Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) was signed on September 25, 2008. The Preferred Alternative (Alternative 2) was selected for implementation.
