Jonesborough asking for input on new trail

Jonesborough officials want your thoughts on a proposal to build a trail from the town to Johnson City. The First Frontier Trail, an 8-foot-wide sidewalk in the right of way, is a proposal for a nearly two-mile walking and bicycling trail, starting at a new park behind the old Jonesborough Middle School, and eventually connecting to the Tweetsie Trail. The trail would follow East Main Street out of town and continue to the Johnson City line, with extensions connecting to town parks. Town leaders are planning an information meeting March 21 at 6 p.m. at the visitors center to get feedback.
