Carnegie Borough seeks public input on a proposed 2.27-mile extension of the Panhandle Trail
The Panhandle Trail could soon grow by more than two miles.
Carnegie officials are gauging public support for a proposed project that would extend the Panhandle Trail, a 29.2-mile pathway that runs from Collier Township to Weirton, W.Va.

Following a Genesee & Wyoming Railroad right of way, the proposed 2.27-mile extension would stretch from Walkers Mill in Collier Township to the Port Authority West Busway Carnegie Station and end at the Port Authority Bell Avenue Station.
Since announcing the idea on Jan. 6, the borough has received more than 300 online letters of support from individuals, community groups and local businesses. Letters will be accepted through the end of March.
