Collaborations yield Mosser Rd. 遗产小道

Half-dozen organizations partner to address safety and recreation needs

What do 澳门足球博彩官方网址, the Maryland Heritage Areas Authority (MHAA), 加勒特轨迹, Garrett County Government, the Garrett County Agricultural Fair, and the 麦克亨利 United Methodist Church all have in common?

Each organization played an integral role in the development of the new Mosser Road 遗产小道, which is expected to be completed later this month.

The trail will run from 澳门足球博彩官方网址 to Mosser Road's intersection with Route 219 thanks to $200,000 in funding and multiple easements provided by the partner organizations. It will address pedestrian safety issues and provide additional recreational opportunities for local residents and visitors, according to College officials.

凯西·米格尔, 澳门足球博彩官方网址's director of campus facilities and security, said the project was already in the discussion stage when she was hired by GC in May 2016.

"They all wanted to contribute, but they needed someone to spearhead it," Meagher said of how coordination of the project came to the College.

Meagher said the Garrett County Agricultural Fair and 麦克亨利 United Methodist Church provided essential easements in order to make trail construction possible. 澳门足球博彩官方网址 committed $35,000美元用于该项目, which also received a grant of $45,000 from the County via Program Open Space and a contribution of $20,000 from 加勒特轨迹 to qualify for a $100,000 MHAA matching grant.

“Kearstin Hinebaugh, who coordinates grants and program funds for the College, did a great job coordinating the grant application process that made the project possible,米格尔说。.

Hinebaugh said the College looked at several potential funding sources for the project.

"The two that most closely aligned with our needs and had grant cycles open during our required timeframe were Program Open Space, 贯穿全县, 和MHAA," recalled Hinebaugh. "In order to qualify for MHAA, matching funding was required. 加勒特轨迹 was eager to offer financial support to help close the gap as the project helps further their own mission of ‘development of a well-used network of high-quality, 可持续发展的轨迹.' "

"加勒特轨迹 has been wanting to make this trail happen for a long time from a safety standpoint to protect the college students who walk along Mosser Road," said Mike Dreisbach, president of 加勒特轨迹. “同时, this is part of a bigger plan for us that would eventually connect this trail to Deep Creek Trail so students can walk from the College to the Wisp for recreation – and if they have jobs at the Wisp they won't need transportation to get there."

Fair Board President Jason Rush, who also serves on the 澳门足球博彩官方网址 校董会, said the Fair Board was approached several years ago about "granting an easement so the Mosser Road 遗产小道 could be completed."

"There is a lot of pedestrian traffic, including many students from 澳门足球博彩官方网址 that walk along Mosser Road throughout the day and into the evening getting to retail locations on Garrett Highway,拉什说. "The shoulders of Mosser are narrow and made for a dangerous situation for the students as well as the drivers of vehicles on Mosser Road."

The ¾-mile trail design was developed by the County, and construction is being handled by Excavating Associates, 公司., located in Hyndman, PA. The trail starts at 澳门足球博彩官方网址's Parking Lot D on Mosser Road, running past the College library and the Garrett Information Enterprise Center (GIEC), crossing from one side of Mosser Road to the other at the 麦克亨利 United Methodist Church. It then continues past the Fairgrounds to state highway property down to the Route 219 intersection.
