ROSE RUN GREENWAY CORRIDOR - New Albany, Ohio

C. Pedestrian CirculationFigure 8 - Existing Trail Network.page 12A hallmark of New Albany has become a commitment to the pedestrian/bikeway trail system throughout the community. Over the past decade, asturdy skeleton of trails have been established throughout the community,but the next phase of this development is now needed. In prioritizing themost significant connections needed in the community, it is clear that linksthroughout the Village Center and the school campus are key. Pathways areunder construction or have recently been completed for several importantlinkages here. In particular, the Market Street / Dublin-Granville intersectionwill be signalized with crosswalks. These walks will lead to new pathwaysalong the school campus and into Wexner Park.With these steps underway, it is clear that the Rose Run corridor becomesthe next important link in the trail system throughout the Village Center. Thispark plan naturally lends itself to this concept due to its linear nature. Also,the center portion of the corridor already has a completed trail system builtas part of the initial Rose Run park project. This existing trail is indicatedabove as the orange line on figure 8. As shown, this trail currently ends atMarket Street on the west and behind the post office to the east. One of themost vital elements of this plan for the overall corridor will be to create traillinkages stretching throughout the entire park and linking into existing trailsystems and sidewalks in the Village Center.Challenging area for future trail linkage - Market Street / Dublin-Granville intersection looking east.At the western end of the Rose Run corridor, the intent is to connect tothe existing trail along Dublin-Granville road. This trail extends along theplayground area located two properties to the west of the Rose Run II. Inorder to create a connection, it will be necessary to acquire an easementfrom the neighboring property owners.Missing trail connection along Dublin-Granville Road.
