GREENWAY TRAL

Whittier in 2009 purchased the 5.8 mile trail way that was before property of the Union Pacific.  Now the trail has been renamed The Greenway Trail.  This long trail begins at the 605 and ends approximately at the end of on Lambert Road by Mills Ave.  the cost of the trail was approximately $11 million dollars. 

This trail is great because many people are taking advantage of this trail to exercise.  It is also great because families can come out and walk, job, or do bicycle with their young ones with out having to worry about cars colliding into them.  Although there are several light stops in between the trail, it is a less harm for the riders. 

Also the trail is good for the environment.  through out the 5 miles ride, there are several wind sculptures that are helping mother earth.  The trail goes behind house, businesses, and through the middle of the city.  Many people that find places far to walk, but close enough to drive find the trail a great alternative.  they can ride their bicycles and save on gas, and at the same time do some exercises. 

Currently Whittier is trying to acquire a line so they can take the Greenway trail and connect it to Orange County.  Through out the path there are several art exhibitions that demonstrate what Whittier was like in previous time.  Like there is a Sycamore stations which represent the Sycamore trees and the wagons that were used before in that path.  an Oak Station is currently under construction.  this part will show the progress of the Quakers since they funded Whittier up to now.
