Fresno has been working on its Midtown Trail for years, with ground first being broken since 2022.
After years of planning, Fresno city officials broke ground Friday on the Midtown Trail. The seven-mile pedestrian and bike trail is set to connect the Fresno Area Express hub at Manchester Center with Clovis’ Old Town Trail, at the intersection of Shields and Clovis avenues. “When we have the opportunity to flip the script on the canals and turn those from liabilities into assets for the community, it’s really an exciting day,” said Fresno City Councilmember Nelson Esparza. –YCV
A few years later, the trail still has yet to be finished, although there are completed segments. The most recent developments have been along McKinley avenue, especially where it intersects with Highway 168. It’ll be quite significant to have a substantially safe way to get the airport – without a car.
