This amendment provides $50,000 from the general fund in the second year to help support the Mendota Trail Project and construct a 'Container Covered Bridge' across a 200-foot span. The Mendota Trail is a 12.5 mile recreational trail linking Bristol, Virginia to Mendota, Virginia on a former railroad bed. The City of Bristol acquired the property and has transferred it to Mountain Heritage, Inc. The first mile of the trail opened to the public in October, 2017 and the first of 17 trestles was rehabilitated. In order to open a five mile section of the trail, repairs are needed on a 193 foot long trestle, which is proposed to be uniquely repaired through the construction of a bridge made from aluminum shipping containers. The requested funds would cover less than half the cost, with local contributions covering the remaining need.
