Paducah City Commissioners introduced an ordinance to begin working toward the next extension phase of the Greenway Trail.  

Currently, the trail stretches from County Park Road to Campbell Road. Phase four will extend the trail from its current ending point near the Schroeder Expo Center, approximately 3000 feet to Madison Street.

City Planning Director Steve Erwin said, "We're anticipating construction to begin most likely in 2018, as we have to get all the reviews from the state."

Cost estimates will include the trail, lighting and trash cans.

The $53,700 contract with HDR Engineering involves engineering design services and assistance through the construction bidding process.  The city also has the option to use HDR for construction administration and inspection in an amount not to exceed $32,000.  

The city obtained a grant for $520,000 for this project.  

The Paducah Board of Commisioners will vote to adopt the ordinance at the next scheduled meeting.
 
Looking ahead to the future, Phase Five will take the trail from Monroe to  Jefferson Streets along the riverfront and add improvements to the existing Schultz Park.
