TRAIL DESCRIPTION: Multi-mile trail and bike route system that will combine off-road segments with bike lane markings, improved sidewalks and signage oriented to pedestrians and
bicyclists.
The City of Wilkes-Barre Trails and Greenways Master Plan will identify trail/greenway routes in the
City of Wilkes-Barre that connect the riverfront area, D&L Heritage Corridor trails and other area
trails, such as the Luzerne County National Recreation Trail, city parks, schools, senior facilities, and
health care facilities. The Master Plan will be developed by the City of Wilkes-Barre, in partnership
with community organizations such as the Anthracite Scenic Trails Association (ASTA),
Pennsylvania Environmental Council, and the Wyoming Valley Wellness Trails Partnership, as well
as with input from the general public. The Master Plan will build on documents such as the ASTA
feasibility study for the Black Diamond Trail Ridge to River Connector, the Visioning efforts of the
downtown Diamond City Partnership, and Pennsylvania State University’s 4th Year Architecture
Students’ Visions for the City of Wilkes-Barre, published 2007.
