15 Master Plan Community Attitudes Survey At 72%, residents indicated that more bike and hike trails are needed in Solon. The most frequently mentioned leisure activity was for improved/expanded paths/trails including better bike/hike/walking trails and sidewalks that connect to downtown and other developments.

16 Master Plan Community Attitudes Survey Residents responded that out of any other activity, they were more likely to walk, run, jog, bike or participate in some other form of outdoor exercise.

17 Master Plan Goal Statements

18 Potential Trail Options Cleveland to Youngstown Trail Solon to Chagrin Falls Trail

19 CLEVELAND TO YOUNGSTOWN TRAIL Location and Basic Information Service SOM Overpass Harper Rd. SOM Center Rd. No Service Follows the Norfolk Southern Railroad right of way 5 mile long section in Solon Currently active railroad service to Harper Road No service east to Grantwood Golf Course 12 + wide paved trail with ADA accessibility

20 CLEVELAND TO YOUNGSTOWN TRAIL Connections and Economic Development Interlinks the broad spectrum of uses in Solon: Industrial, Central Retail District, Residential areas, Public areas Industrial CRD Residential PROVIDES Vital connection between all of Solon s existing trails Alternative transportation opportunities to Solon residents Interesting and varied scenery Economic development benefits to the Central Retail District and Industrial Area

21 Cleveland to Youngstown Trail in Regional Context More than just a 5 mile trail in Solon potentially 72 + mile regional connector Cleveland to Youngstown 98% of the railroad east of Harper is already vacated, in the process of being vacant, no service, or an existing trail Approximately 20 miles of existing trail so far Unique opportunity for connections between entire NE Ohio trail system

22 CLEVELAND TO YOUNGSTOWN TRAIL Portage County Headwaters Trail 8 miles long between Mantua and Garrettsville Mahoning County Stavich Bike Trail 12 miles long (Ohio and Pennsylvania)

23 Cleveland to Youngstown Trail Status Trail location is currently controlled by Norfolk Southern Railroad and subleased to Cleveland Commercial Railroad Railroad service exists west of Harper Road Railroad service is inactive from east of Harper Road Railroad has filed to vacate all existing right of way from 1.6 miles east of the Solon border to Mantua and the existing Headwaters Trail. City is in contact with Norfolk Southern to discuss vacating all of the line in Solon up to Harper Road The City has not applied for trail funding or proposed detailed trail plans at this time

24 SOLON TO CHAGRIN FALLS TRAIL ODNR Trails for Ohioans A Plan for the Future trail #4074 Follows 2.1 miles of the former Chagrin Falls and Southern Railroad right of way. Right of way was purchased by the City in 1992 Cleveland Metroparks ownership of the right of way begins at the Solon/Bentleyville border

25 SOLON TO CHAGRIN FALLS TRAIL Connections and Economic Development Solon to Chagrin Falls Trail CRD Connects a wide variety of property types and uses Trail commences at the heart of the Central Retail District and interlinks commercial, office, industrial, and residential neighborhoods The trail Provides alternative transportation opportunities for Solon residents Provides viable connectivity to other Solon trails, including the Community Center trail and the planned Cleveland to Youngstown trail Promotes walkability in the downtown area, as per the Solon Master Plan Promotes economic development benefits in the CRD Residential

26 SOLON TO CHAGRIN FALLS TRAIL IN REGIONAL CONTEXT More than just Solon trail proceeds 2.2 miles to Downtown Chagrin Falls Connects to Cleveland Metroparks owned right of way and the larger regional metroparks trail system The regional nature of the trail is its strength CRD Installed trail

27 SOLON TO CHAGRIN FALLS TRAIL Existing Conditions Trails located outside of Solon

28 SOLON TO CHAGRIN FALLS TRAIL STATUS Trail is included in the ODNR Trails for Ohians plan as Trail #4074 The entire Solon portion of the trail route is in City ownership (purchased in 1992) Cleveland Metroparks owns most of the former railroad right of way outside of Solon (including 1.6 miles of installed trail) City has started to explore funding opportunities 1) $300,000 designated for the trail under the State of Ohio Capital Budget program 2) $500,000 in trail funding pending before the ODNR under the Clean Ohio Trail Fund grant Full cost of constructing the 2 mile section of trail in solon is estimated at $998,500 Regional connection to Chagrin Falls will require partnership to solve the challenge of crossing the Chagrin River floodplain in Bentleyville City Council has not yet approved the project and substantial resident input will be required.

29 Center of Town/Redevelopment Area The closest point of convergence of the Solon to Chagrin Falls Trail and the Cleveland to Youngstown Trail occurs in the heart of the CRD 1/3 mile separation between trails The trails bracket the north and south side of the strategic Center of Town area Focal point of the Master Plan Citizen s Committee for redevelopment Redevelopment goals: Attractive Walkable Restaurants Shops Entertainment Vibrancy
