(KAIR)--A step forward for an Atchison walking and biking trail.
That comes in the way of a grant approval from The Sunflower Foundation Trails program, according to a press release from the City of Atchison.
The city partnered with Live Well, Live Atchison for the grant.
The exact amount of money granted is not immediately made available, the foundation is waiting to release that until the agreement is finalized.
But Atchison Public Works Director Justin Pregont said they applied for the maximum amount, $55,000.
When complete, the trail will begin at the intersection of U.S. Hwy 59 and U.S. Hwy 73. The ten-foot-wide, asphalt trail will continue for approximately a mile and a half in southern Atchison ending at Raven Hill Road by the hospital and Walmart.
The trial is on schedule for bids in August or September with construction to follow in fall 2016.
