Event Details: 

The Foxfire Trail, funded by the Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) grant, transforms a historic rail line into a scenic, accessible path for all. Stretching approximately 0.91 miles long (4800 linear feet), this new trail offers a safe, car-free route for pedestrians, cyclists, and nature enthusiasts from the City’s Municipal Center to the Foxfire/Seaboard neighborhoods crossing the West Neck Creek. The trail includes a pedestrian bridge over West Neck Creek, designed with enough clearance to allow canoes and kayaks to pass underneath enroute to/from the Dozier Bridge Canoe/Kayak Launch which is approximately 1 mile upstream.

Two or more city council members and city leadership may attend.

Remarks will be presented by Virginia Beach Mayor, Robert “Bobby” Dyer, Barbara Henley, City Council Member - District 2, Walter Camp, Active Transportation Advisory Committee Chair, and Michael Kirschman, Parks & Recreation Director followed by the ribbon cutting ceremony.
