The Borough of Midland in partnership with City of Beaver Falls, Beaver Borough, Bridgewater Borough, Brighton Township, Fallston Borough, Industry Borough, New Brighton Borough, Glasgow Borough, Ohioville Borough, Rochester Borough, Rochester Township, Vanport Township, Beaver County Planning Commission, and the Ohio River Trail Council is undertaking a feasibility study to create a bicycle and pedestrian trail along the northern side of the Ohio River as well as along the Beaver River, north to Beaver Falls. The proposed trail will connect with the proposed Ohio River South Shore Trail (Coraopolis – Monaca) at the Monaca-Rochester Bridge and travel to the Ohio State Line. The project is funded through a Community Conservation Partnership Program planning grant provided by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR), First Energy Foundation and local community support.
The Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) grant application was submitted in April 2010. The North Shore Feasibility Study DCNR grant was awarded on October 14, 2010 and the kick-off meeting occurred on January 12, 2011.
