Regional Trail & Bikeway Committee – Oxford Area Trails
In 2018, the City of Oxford passed a $10 million, decade-long levy to help fund the construction of the Oxford Area Trail. In just six years, the City has leveraged their local funds with federal and state grants to construct 4.3 miles of trail in their plan. At our Regional Trail & Bikeway Committee meeting, you’ll hear from the leaders who are bringing the Oxford Area Trail to fruition and explore the pathway first-hand by foot or by bike.
