Mayor Steve Noble is pleased to announce the Kingston Point Rail Trail Phase #1 will open on September 6, 2019 with a ribbon cutting and trail tour. The public is invited and encouraged to attend the event, where Mayor Noble will officially open the trail and lead a brief tour.

 

The Kingston Point Rail Trail Phase #1 is a paved public path that stretches from E. Chester Street at Jansen Ave to Garraghan Drive and 9-W at Rondout Gardens. The 1.11-mile trail is currently under construction and not yet open to the public. Remaining projects, including installing a raised sidewalk across Delaware Ave, paving additional sections, finishing trailhead construction, and planting flower and shrubs, are expected to be completed by the first week in September.

 

About the Greenline:
The Kingston Greenline is part of a growing movement of investing in trails and non-motorized transportation routes that make small cities more walkable and bikeable to improve accessibility, health, and overall quality of life in our neighborhoods. The Kingston Greenline is a partnership initiative of the Kingston Land Trust, the City of Kingston, and Ulster County. The Kingston Greenline will connect to a network of rail trails and become a hub for non-motorized transportation and tourism from four different directions in the county, including the Empire State Trail.
