An example of a rec path is the Farmington Canal Trail in Cheshire and Hamden, a paved path used by walkers, joggers, bicyclists, and rollerbladers. Recreation Paths are being built all over the country because they are so popular when built. They become a community focal point where people get together, as well as a safe place for kids to learn how to ride a bike. Everyone loves them after they are built.
Property values go up, and houses located nearest to the rec paths sell quickly.
Such paths are also handicapped accessible. Instead, it would wind through the vast tract of wooded public open space located in the heart of Shelton. This small section of the Rec Path poster shows the path route near the High School. The straight road going from left to right is Rt. To see the entire poster, click here.
