Construction
Westside Trail - Segment 6
Once complete, this 0.6-mile section of trail will connect the Westside Trail at Lawton Street SW to the Westside Trail at Ralph David Abernathy Boulevard. The project will include the design of a 14’ wide concrete multi-use path with soft shoulders on each side, planting, fiber duct bank, retaining walls, stainless steel handrails/guardrails, storm drainage and management (with a focus on green infrastructure), environmental remediation, lighting, and security cameras.

Project Status
This section of trail is open but is a sidewalk connection, diverted off the rail corridor with ramp connections to an adjacent sidewalk. This project will construct a trail connection on the rail corridor. Design has started, with Root Design as the design lead for the project, and is approximately 10-15% complete. Design is expected to be 30% complete by the end of September 2025 and will continue through Spring of 2026. Construction is tentatively scheduled to be completed by late 2027 or early 2028. Landscaping work will extend into 2028.
