The public is invited to attend an informational and public input session where Pashek Associates will present their recommendations regarding the feasibility of a potential multi-use trail connecting Lake Erie at Barcelona Harbor to Chautauqua Lake at the Chautauqua Institution.  The meeting will be held at Webb’s Year-Round Resort, 115 West Lake Road, Mayville, New York 14757.

The proposed trail would create a greenway in the vicinity of the historic Portage Trail, likely using existing rails-to-trails pathways to connect Barcelona and the Villages of Westfield and Mayville to the Chautauqua Institution.

This project was identified as one of the top priority projects in the Chautauqua County Greenway Plan, which was financed by the County and managed by the County Department of Planning & Economic Development (CCPED), and completed in April 2012.
