The $3,075,844 project received state grants of about $1.4 million and about $883,000 from Orange County Transportation Authority. Construction will begin June 2014 and is expected to finish by June 2015.
“We’re looking for funding for the trail connection so you won’t have to walk through Crown Valley Parkway,” said Director of Public Works Dave Rogers. “The ad hoc committee will discuss both the bridge crossing over Crown Valley Parkway and other alternatives.”
