Survey for Public Art on the Ballenger Creek Trail


The FAC is seeking input to help shape an approach to public art on the Ballenger Creek Linear Trail. The Ballenger Creek Linear Trail is 4.2 miles in length and connects Ballenger Creek Park to Buckeystown Pike. The trail is aligned primarily along Ballenger Creek, linking residential communities to schools, parks, places of business and entertainment, while serving as a recreational facility in and of itself. The trail is an ADA-compliant, ten foot wide multi-use trail that allows for condition-dependent use by walkers, joggers, skaters and cyclists. The trail is a winding, changing landscape of breathtaking nature, suburbs, and school areas.
