Segment 2: East Forsyth High to Cash Elementary School The preferred alignment for this segment of the trail system is approximately 2.3 miles in length. The trail will consist of a 10-foot-wide multi-use trail constructed of asphalt. A crosswalk is required to cross West Mountain Street to provide access from the school to the trail. The consultant has carefully considered all options for crossing the road, and selected a location just north of Hastings Hill Road. This crossing will allow safer access to the primary trail located along the Norfolk Southern Railroad right-of-way (ROW). The trail will have two crossings, the first at Hastings Hill Road and the second at West Mountain Street to avoid the busy intersection at Hastings Hill Road and West Mountain Street. The trail will follow the existing ROW’s and consist of a 10-foot-wide paved asphalt trail. Because of some limitations along this route, the trail will need to shrink to 8 feet wide in some areas. Numerous driveways and road crossings will have to be properly addressed to make users and adjacent residents feel comfortable. It is recommended that a coordinated signage system be established is this urban section in conjunction with a wayfinder system that will allow users to know where they are on the trail. A crosswalk with a signalized pedestrian crossing will be needed to cross West Mountain Street at Old Hollow Road. The trail will use the existing railroad crossing and a proposed sidewalk along Old Hollow Road to access Cash Elementary School. Part of this trail will need to be built adjacent to the existing railroad tracks. There are three different treatments to satisfy safety issues for this segment of the greenway. A fence or a combination of a fence with a planting buffer must exist where the trail is within 10 feet of the center of the active track. This fence must be at least 6 feet in height. There are numerous driveways and road crossings in this phase that will have to be properly addressed to make users and adjacent businesses feel comfortable. It is recommended that a coordinated signage system be established is this urban section in conjunction with a wayfinder system that will allow users to know where they are on the trail. The trail will use the existing railroad crossing and the proposed sidewalk along Old Hollow Road to access Cash Elementary School. A second alternative trail alignment would use the southern side of West Mountain Street. PART is currently looking at the existing rail corridor (the north side) for a high-speed commuter rail line. At the time of this Master Plan, PART has not selected the corridor, but only looking at the feasibility of the corridor. The southern side could be used for a trail; however, the trail would most likely only accommodate a sidewalk. Figure 5.
