In the next few months, the city of Norman will open a new multimodal trail near Reaves Park along Constitution Avenue.
The mile-long trail runs from Jenkins Avenue to Classen Boulevard, and it will allow locals to bike or hike near the University of Oklahoma campus. The new pass will connect the city’s and university’s trail systems.
The project was made possible through the Transportation Alternatives grant by way of the Oklahoma Department of Transportation.
Norman Public Works Director Shawn O’Leary said the BNSF railroad company is going to make improvements to the trail starting Feb. 20 and will complete the project by April 1.
“So we are on the tail end of that process, the project should be wrapping up we think around early or mid March to early April,” he said, “and the only thing we’re waiting on is the BNSF railroad to finish their portion. We’re not allowed to work in the railroad right of way.”
