Next up: Ram Trail!

The Delhi Township board of trustees has unanimously approved the master plan guiding the township’s parks strategy for the next five years—and the top priority item is now in its early stages.

Land is being cleared for Ram Trail, a mile-long non- motorized trail that will connect Eifert Road to the Holt High School complex, said Delhi Parks and Recreation Director Mark Jenks. Funding for the $1.3 million project was secured from the Michigan Department of Transportation and the Delhi Township general fund.

Ram Trail will run parallel to Holt Road and will create a safer alternative for pedestrians, cyclists and others

who currently have to travel along the shoulder of the busy street. Township officials expect the trail to be completed next year.

As Ram Trail gets underway, the township’s master parks plan has gone to the Michigan Department of Natural Resources where it will compete with other projects statewide for grant money.
