Marketplace Mall Connection to Wabash Railtrail and City of New Orleans Railtrail 2 Boneyard Greenway connects to two greenways running along major railway lines through Champaign. These are the 9 mile Wabash Railtrail and the 4 mile City of New Orleans Railtrail. Through these trails, the Boneyard Greenway becomes integrated into the regional trails network. City of New Orleans Railroad Connection to Multiple Neighborhood Parks 3 The Boneyard Greenway forms an excellent link between several Community Parks through its course. The 1.5 acres Wesley Park, 2 acres Bristol Park and 3.5 acres Scott Park, all lie along the Boneyard Greenway. Douglass Park and Douglass Center, which are 12.5 acres of park area with facilities including playground, baseball diamond and soccer field, lighted basketballs courts, is located just Douglass Community Center 0.2 miles east of the Boneyard Greenway. Connection to Downtown and Campustown 4 The Boneyard Greenway connects the neighborhoods located north of Champaign, including the Market Place Mall and the North Prospect commercial center, to downtown Champaign and Campustown located at the south end of the trail. Downtown Champaign Constraints Need for a Connection between Upper and Lower Boneyard Greenway The Upper and the Lower Boneyard Greenway Trails should be coordinated with the 1 Martin Luther King Trail to form a continuous north-south local trail on the east side of the city. Existing Boneyard Greenway Railroad Pedestrian Crossing Needed The development of an at-grade trail crossing will be necessary to allow the Boneyard Greenway 2 to cross the Wabash Railroad. (See the County Greenways and Trails Design Guidelines for at-grade trail crossing designs.) Rails with Trails Crossing example Champaign Trails Plan 3 Fall 2009 Draft Copper Slough Greenway A multi-use trail is planned to border the Copper Slough Creek between the Kaskaskia River and Kaufman Lake. The trail consists of two segments; the lower segment lies between Kaskaskia Greenway and Pipeline Multi-UseTrail, the upper segment is located between Kirby Avenue Multi-Use Trail and Duncan Road Multi-Use Trail. The trail will cover 2.1 miles in total, linking an existing trail and six planned trails within the network. The Copper Slough Greenway will provide residents with access to the citywide 10’ Path trail network. 50’ Easement Rising Rd #$ Staley Rd Staley Lake Duncan Rd N .0',%#*"4#,3#'*20'* %5 Opportunity 1 O’Malley’s Alley Barker Rd Barker Trail Connection to O’Malley’s Alley Trail Rd Kenwood and Kaufman Lake -&,12-, Centennial Park Park Pipeline Multi-Use Trail Pipeline Multi-Use '7% H #5 G ##01-, Rising Road Multi- Use Trail Use Multi- Rising Road $7 U Middle O !&--* L A Trail Multi-Use Duncan Road S R &-*#+ - UPPER E P Aquatic Kirby Avenue Multi-Use Trail P Kirby Ave O Center C Kaskaskia Greenway 7 % % '0'*12,32- !&--* Opportunity 2 Access to Schools, Parks and ',7 Residential Neighborhoods (5 ) Pipeline Multi-Use Trail Spur 57 * Opportunity 3 5 Access to Local and Regional Trails -02#0 Square *7 Park Park % Windsor Rd GREEN WAY Windsor Road Multi-Use Trail +% Fire Park Zahnd 7> LOWER Park - #1-, Constraint 1 5 Design Pedestrian Crossing for #120) Urban Arterial COPPER SLOUGH )%$% Opportunity 4 Coordination with Future Developments Curtis Rd Curtis Road Multi-Use Trail 0 0.25 Mile Multi-Use Trail, Planned 74 Railtrail , Planned 72 Greenway, Planned Existing Trail Segments Connection 57 Champaign Trails Plan Fall 2009 Draft 4 Copper Slough Greenway Kaskaskia Greenway Kirby Avenue Multi-Use Trail Porter Family Park Kenwood Elementary Rising Road Multi-Use Trail Duncan Road Multi-Use Trail Dog Park O’Malley’s Alley Trail Pipeline Multi-Use Trail O’ Malley’s AlleyTrail Neighborhood Shopping Kaufman Lake Windsor Road Multi-Use Trail Opportunities Connection to O’Malley’s Alley Trail and Kaufman Lake Upper Copper Slough Greenway links to the existing 0.5 mile O’Malley’s Alley Trail and its future extension 1 along Kenwood Road. This will provides access to Jefferson Middle School and Sholem Aquatic Center through the 74 acre Centennial Park. The Copper Slough Greenway also leads to Kaufman Park and Lake through the existing Greenbelt Bikeway trail. Kaufman Park is 8 acres and the Lake covers about 16 acres. Kaufman Lake Connection to Schools, Parks and Residential neighborhoods. Upper Copper Slough connects to several residential neighborhoods: Tumberry Ridge, Kenwood, 2 Ridgewood which leads to Kenwood elementary, Kaufman Lake and Kaufman Park. The Lower Copper Slough Greenway connects to Ironwood, Copper Ridge, Charter Oak and Lincolnshire Fields neighborhoods. Also, the greenway leads to the 38 acres Porter Family Park and the 7 acres Dog Park at the intersection of Rising Road and Windsor Road. Porter Park Access to Local and Regional Trails Copper Slough Greenway connects to the larger regional network through two major north-south trails 3 located on the west side of the city. These trails are the future 10 mile Kaskaskia Greenway and the 6.5 mile Pipeline Multi-Use Trail.
