Info

Segment 1: Salem Lake to East Forsyth High School This segment of the trail system is approximately 1.5 miles in length and will consist of a 10-foot wide multi-use trail constructed of asphalt, boardwalk and/or concrete where deemed necessary due to site conditions and maintenance issues. At the southern terminus of the Piedmont Greenway portion of the corridor, an existing trailhead will be used on the Salem Lake property, a city-run park managed by the Winston-Salem Parks and Recreation Department. The Salem Lake trailhead serves the existing Salem Lake Trail System and this parking area can accommodate large buses and vans, recreational vehicles, and autos with trailers. At Linville Road, a small parking area exists that will allow vehicle access to the Piedmont Greenway . The consultant recommends that a signed and/or signaled crosswalk be installed to access this greenway trailhead because of the heavy and high-speed traffic using this road. and dimensions lend itself to the retro-fit. The design will maintain the intended purpose of the box as a flood-prone side channel during heavy flooding. As the trail leaves the culvert underpass, there is a small section adjacent to Business I-40 on the northern side where boardwalk is recommended. City-owned land on the western side of Hastings Hill Road and a small portion of school property will allow easy access for both the school and trail users. Safety and controlled access to and from the school will need to be addressed. The trail can be fenced along the school property with a gated access provided in a controlled setting. On the Salem Lake Greenway, where the major greenway parking is located, an entry area is provided as a formal link to a 10-foot wide asphalt trail that circles the lake. This entry area provides bench seating, a bike rack, information signage and natural landscaping. The trail user can access the Piedmont Greenway trail by using this parking lot, or use the Linville Road parking lot for a more direct access point. Information markers will be placed at both trailheads showing the location and distances to various points of interest along the primary Piedmont Greenway trail (spur trail information can be added at a later date). In addition, an information kiosk to coordinate special events such as nature walks, historical and cultural walks, will be placed in the Linville Road Traihead. The Greenway trail will extend north along the west side of Kerners Mill Creek and continue to East Forsyth High School. Access from the Linville Road Trail Head to the box culvert underpass at Business I-40, will require boardwalk and a trail capable of withstanding flooding, as it will be sited within the 100-year flood plain. The consultant has carefully considered all options for this section of the trail. The box culvert will have to be retro-fitted to accept the trail. Currently the box culvert consists of a four-chambered culvert with each "box" approximately 14 feet by 14 feet. The trail will use the northwestern-most box as a trail as its concrete construction Figure 3.
