Markell Trail in Wilmington.<\/p><p>The $23M grant to New Castle County enabling construction of an approximately 2-mile, ADA-accessible, shared-use trail from Newport to Wilmington makes possible the completion of a circular 16-mile path connecting jobs, schools, cultural institutions and state and national parks.<\/p><p>Advocates for the \u201cWilmington Loop\u201d say plans for the Newport River Trail leaves a roughly 2.1-mile gap through the city\u2019s East Side as a key critical link in completion of a transformational community thoroughfare for the state\u2019s largest city and surrounding suburbs. This segment would connect the existing, hugely successful Brandywine and Christina River trails, creating a conduit for every neighborhood in and bordering the city to access resources and recreation safely and easily. (See red highlighted section in map on page 3 below and detailed Wilmington section map on page 4.)<\/p><p>\u201cThis is an exciting and important step in completion of the Loop,\u201d said Scott Johnson, a businessman and leader of WiLCO \u2013 the Wilmington Loop Coalition. \u201cA trail connecting East Side residents with the beauty, fun and practical value of the Brandywine and Christina trails is long overdue, and it is an essential missing link in a trail that will be a game changer for Delaware\u2019s economy and quality of life, and we need to get it done.\u201d<\/p><p>\u201cThe immense value of community trails here in Delaware and across the country \u2013 from an economic, environmental and public health standpoint \u2013 is clear, and we are delighted to see this funding for the Newport River Trail and thankful to our Congressional delegation, Gov. Carney and County Executive Meyer for their support,\u201d said Mary Roth, executive director of Delaware Greenways. \u201cWe are looking forward to continuing to work with state and city leaders to make that critical connection a reality.\u201d<\/p><p>\u201cWe often joke about how connected we all are and the limited degrees of separation in our city of 70,000 and state of one million,\u201d said Logan S. Herring, Sr., CEO of the WRK Group. \u201cHowever, these blurred lines come into focus as it pertains to access and opportunity, and I see these barriers clearly everyday working in Riverside and Northeast Wilmington &#8211; barriers to jobs, education, and community resources. By connecting the Wilmington Loop through the city, we can help make the promise of true community connectivity a reality.\u201d<\/p><p>\u201cThe city is pleased to be part of a wonderful project being led by the Wilmington Loop Coalition,\u201d said Wilmington Mayor Mike Purzycki. \u201cThis initiative has picked up encouraging momentum and the city supports the effort to create numerous outdoor recreational opportunities to explore our great city as well as beautiful neighboring environs. Congratulations to all who see the tremendous value in the completion of the Loop.\u201d<\/p><p><em><a
