Marshall Township Receives Trail Grant

Earlier this year the Redevelopment Authority of Allegheny County awarded $1.4 million to Marshall Township for trail construction. The grant will enable the Township to accelerate building more trail segments as set forth in its Trail Plan.

The County grant was centered on creating new trail opportunities, expanding and enhancing existing trail facilities and facilitating local connections to existing trail and multimodal transportation systems. As the RCTC extends the Harmony Trail north from Bradford Woods to Brush Creek and beyond, Marshall Township's work will close some of the existing gaps on the route. One trail project on the list is Shenot Road from the School Campus Driveway to Perry Highway and Northgate Drive. This section could be the first connection for the Harmony Trail in Marshall Township.

While the schedule for trail building has not been finalized, other walkway segments the Township is hoping to construct include along Warrendale Bayne Road from the park ‘n ride to Warrendale Village and Wexford Run Road from Manor Road to the entrance to Highpoint, among others farther west of I-79.
