If they deny us access, we think that will substantially impact the value of the property. Yet south and north of the disputed Ricchuiti property, two prominent home-building firms pledge to respect the city's trail corridor. Granville Homes, which envisions 377 new houses along Willow Avenue, won't run traffic across the trail into its subdivision. Granville owner Farid Assemi says he'll also connect a landscaped trail inside the subdivision to the city trail. Likewise, Bonadelle Development Corp., which plans 160 homes along Willow Avenue, won't allow traffic across the trail into its subdivision.
Hopes still exist that the city can reach similar agreements with the others.
