Segment 12: Moore's Creek Corridor The Moore's Creek corridor will start at Northwest School Road, will follow the eastern boundary of the school property and terminate at the confluence of Moore's Creek and Reedy Fork Creek at the Pleasant Ridge Road Trailhead. This segment is approximately 3.5 miles in length and has some of the most beautiful views along the Piedmont Greenway Trail. There are four known areas that will require pedestrian bridges. These areas could also provide access to the neighborhoods to the north of the primary trail. One existing gas pipeline crosses the trail and creek near Timber Peg Road. It is not known at this time if a bridge or another type of crossing over the pipeline will be needed. As the trail continues on the north side of the creek, it will merge with an existing farm road west of Stanley Huff Road. This farm road parallels the creek for 600 feet more or less, and its use should help reduce overall trail costs. The farm road continues to Stanley Huff Road where the trail will cross-at-grade. Upon crossing Stanley Huff Road the trail parallels a large field on the left and the Moore's Creek floodplain on the right. Although the floodplain could support a natural foot trail, a paved trail would require the acquisition of the edge of the field for trail purposes. The trail continues past the farmland and will use an abandoned utility easement that still has poles (no wires were observed) until crossing over to the southern side of Moore's Creek near Deer Trail Road. A small section on either side of this crossing will require boardwalk for approximately 150 feet on the northern side and 40 feet on the southern side. will run parallel to the main trail separated by a vegetated barrier. This segment of the trail is approximately 3.5 miles in length. Three bridges will be needed to span small drainage tributaries of the main channel and one bridge will be needed to cross Moore's Creek. The northern bank will be the primary location of the trail in order to minimize creek crossings. SEGMENT 12 Moore's Creek is influenced by more pronounced topography and ridges in this section. The floodplain and associated wetlands will cause the trail to be located at the toe of sloping land. There are existing equestrian trails in this area and it is proposed that the trail use them to minimize cost and land disturbance. As the trail nears Pleasant Ridge Road it will skirt an open section of farmland and then drop down to where Moore's Creek meets Reedy Fork Creek. A concrete ramp will allow trail users to access the proposed trailhead on the north side. The trail will be a multi-use corridor that will accommodate pedestrian, biking and equestrian uses. The primary trail will be 10 feet wide for all users but equestrians who will use a 2- to 5-foot-wide adjacent crushed granite dust trail that Figure 22.
