In addition to the industrial campuses of Rubbertown, the Levee Trail section passes by approximately three 36 Challenges: Even though the Levee Trail has been completed and connects to downtown, segments of the trail’s on-road facility exposes the pedestrian and cyclists to potentially danger- ous conditions. The Campground Road section currently exists as on-street bike lanes with no sidewalks. Funding has been identified to sepa- rate this from the often heavy truck traffic. Another challenge is the need to connect into the neighborhoods. Currently, many of the access points along roads lack safe facilities or direct connection for safe routes to schools, neighborhoods, parks, JEFFERSON MEMORIAL FOREST LN 2 Community Facility Destinations w/in 1 Mile of Levee Trail: Neighborhoods: Valley Station, Valley Village, Kos- mosdale, Pleasure Ridge Park, Sylvania, Shively, Lake Dreamland, St. Denis, Chickasaw • 8 schools (primary and secondary) • 1 Community Centers • 7 public parks 3 Miles
