County narrows plan for Neshannock Creek Trail project
Lawrence County will limit the Neshannock Creek Trail to about one mile of the old rail corridor within New Castle. Plans between the County Planning Office and PennDOT push the first phase, the largest segment owned by the city, with future expansion toward Volant. Commissioner Burick said full extension depends on landowner cooperation and phased approvals. Ed Fosnaught questioned why the public wasn’t informed of the one mile limit. PennDOT liaison Ed Fosnaught noted the original scope and plans in a April 1 letter to the county planning director.
