Phase 1 of the Trail is Open
We are excited to announce that the first phase of Wasson Way is now open to the public. Our ribbon cutting event was a huge success and brought out so much community support. We want to thank everyone who attended and continues to support our vision. View the link below to get an overview of the phase 1 map and design.
Ribbon Cutting on July 28th
The moment we have been waiting for: we officially open the first phase of the Wasson Way on July 28th 9:30am behind Withrow High School (follow the signs along Dana Avenue). Live music, prizes, t-shirts, bumper stickers, free beverages and special Busken WW cookies. Children are trailblazers and ride/walk the trail first, so be sure to bring entire family.
Bird’s Eye Trail View
It’s a bird, no it’s a plane – no, it’s a drone filming the Wasson Way from Xavier University to the Little Miami River! If you want to see why we are so excited about the future Wasson Way, watch this short film. The bridges at the eastern end of the trail are pretty special.
Phase One Underway!
Construction of phase one is underway! During the winter and spring, lots of activity near Withrow High School, Madison Road, Grovedale Drive and Tamarack Avenue. First piece of trail opens July 14, 2018!
Wasson Way Groundbreaking
