You may have noticed trees being planted along the Cross City Trail in Duluth Saturday.

City of Duluth Park Department and some volunteers planted twenty trees to provide shade to bikers.

The event was part of the Bus, Bike, Walk Duluth – a month long celebration.

Cross City Trail is an extension of the Lakewalk and will eventually connect to the Munger Trail in West Duluth.

 “Really the only issue is that the alignment hasn’t been decided and there are a lot of different options for where the trail could go. It could through a business district, it could go closer to the river, or up into a neighborhood, just a lot of opinions as to which route it should be,” explained Shawna MullenEardley with Duluth Park Department.

No timeline on when the route of that section of the trail will be decided or constructed.
