The date has been set for a grand opening celebration: Thursday, May 14th at 10AM.
Certainly the trail has been useable since last fall.
Keep in mind that this is only Phase I of the trail. Phase II continued the Dequindre Cut north of Gratiot to Mack Avenue.
And either the trail got a new sign along Gratiot or I haven’t been paying attention. Either way, it looks good.
Also, there are rumblings of a “Dequindre Cut East.” There is an abandoned rail corridor just east of Beaufait from Mack to the Riverfront. The Gleaner’s Community Food Bank is interested in this project as it would connect their building to the Riverwalk. This is still very much in the conceptual phase, so there are not many details to share at this time.
