Bike Lane Project – State Route 416 – New Philadelphia to Village of Tuscarawas
Zeisberger Trail and Parks (ZTAP), Friends of Tuscarawas County Parks, and Ohio & Erie Canalway Coalition are seeking to raise more than $75,000 in local dollars to support a $1.4 million grant from the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT). The grant will support the development of bicycle lanes along State Route 416 in Tuscarawas County.
The 5-foot wide bicycle lanes will stretch more than three miles along SR 416, from State Route 259 to the Village of Tuscarawas. As part of the ODOT grant, the local grant recipient is required to raise 5 percent in matching local funds, equaling $76,175 for this project.
ZTAP has been hard at work improving walking and bicycling in mid-Tuscarawas County for eight years. The Ohio & Erie Canalway Coalition is assisting Tuscarawas County and ZTAP in managing the project as part of its technical assistance agreement with the County.
“Not only will this provide commuters and exercise enthusiasts a safe route between New Philadelphia and Tuscarawas, but also re-establish the historical connection between Cleveland and Tuscarawas along the Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath Trail,” said Dan Rice, president and CEO of the Ohio & Erie Canalway Coalition.
