‘Legacy Loop’ bike, walking, horse trail proposed for Apache Junction
The draft Active Transportation Plan presented to the City of Apache Junction by J2 Engineering and Environmental Design LLC
A report proposing a route of connected pedestrian and horse trails coined Legacy Loop and suggested thoroughfare alterations to accommodate bike lanes was presented to Apache Junction officials in an Oct. 9 public hearing.
The trail system for riding horses, walking and bicycling is part of an Active Transportation Plan being prepared by J2 Engineering and Environmental Design LLC for the city of Apache Junction. Plans show the Legacy Loop heads east and south on Bureau of Land Management open space land, through Siphon Draw, then northwest along the Central Arizona Project canal and north along Meridian Road.
“Apache Junction is in a great position to brand this and create signature designations… ‘Legends Loop,’ a loop around the city (to) connect the north and the east open space all the way around the city,” Dean Chambers of J2 said Oct. 9 during a public hearing at City Hall.
