The corridor (aka bike path) will run from Mt Cranmore to the Walmart. Access can be achieved from the Northface parking lot by entering the trail near the tennis courts
- Four lane limited access highway
- Bike path,
- Something else, perhaps another set of condos out our back door
In 2006, the approved plan for this same strip of land was for a four lane limited highway. For us at Northface, the highway would have run in the same location as the bike path. The plan was to construct the North-South Road first (Phase 4A on the map) and then do a four lane by-pass around North Conway with one exit at Mt Cranmore (Phase 7). There were some owners (The Powers – lived in Building 4) who moved to Northface from their home on Thompson Road because their land was needed to construct the 4 lane by-pass over Thompson Road.
Due to several reasons, including funding, the by-pass plans were scrapped. But
the Town had received Federal Funds for the by-pass land which had to be repaid since the by-pass was not going
to be constructed - unless the land was still going
to be used for a transportation corridor. The recreation corridor was the
option selected. While some owners might not be pleased with the bike path
proximity, but it locks in the land
and we still benefit from a forested view. And if you are a fan of the bike
path, what could be more convenient that the current location!
There has been discussion to increase the length of the bike path. It was announced in the Summer of 2022 that funds had been obtained to extend the northern end from Mt Cranmore to the scenic vista
