In the area between Division Street and Oak Street, there is an historic property (a city utility lift station) that would be negatively affected by construction of a sidewalk, which is not permitted with state or federal funding per the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO). The city may be able to complete that sidewalk segment at a later time. For the Union Street-to-Cass Street section, the expressed city/DDA preference is to have pedestrians use the Boardman River Boardwalk and existing sidewalk/trail through Clinch Park.
