Now Here's a Trail!




The American Tobacco Trail is one to drool over. It is 22+ miles of a well maintained path traversing Durham and beyond.

I have used this trail for running and can verify its popularity. It has heavy traffic almost all the time, just like our dream Colington Road Multi-use path will.

Folks use it for exercise, to get to work, to access shopping stops and to reach eateries just to start the list.

Bike riders, single and family; roller blade users; walkers; runners; joggers; strollers with and without babies all can be spotted on this trail. We just missed a picture of a gaggle of bike riders crossing the road we were driving on (yes, where needed there are pedestrian stop for cars).

The people of Colington and their supports are beyond ready DOT and NC legislators for our own multi-use path. We need your help and action and will do our part to get this project off the planning table and onto a work order.
