| Rail Trail Grand Opening Sept 13 |
The City's official ceremony opening the Bradford Rail Trail (Phase One) will take place on Tuesday, September 13, 10:30 am, at the Roma Restaurant. Volunteers on the Rail Trail Committee worked for many months alongside city officials to plan the Phase One improvements. The Friends of Bradford Rail Trail (affiliated with Brighside) organized the recent clean-up day on the trail, and are raising funds now for its further development. Donate. Since the trail property was purchased with a major grant from State, Mayor Fiorentini will recognize the elected State officials who made this trail possible. |
