A week and a half ago the Sisters of Notre Dame, the City of Worcester, and the Greater Worcester Land Trust reached an agreement whereby a trail easement was granted to the Trust and the City for the East Side Trail section between the Coal Mine shaft on the Plantation Towers site and the Mohegan Council Boy Scouts of America site. This completes the protection of the East Side Trail.
The trail has since been blazed and opened on this crossing by the East Side Trail's father Mr. Gene Tivnan.
Additionally land was acquired on Trinity Avenue to create a new trailhead for Green Hill park and access to the red loop trail. The scoping of the connection has only just begun and this will not be open for a while.
A formal trail kickoff, ribbon cutting, and hike are being planned and will be announced soon.
Stay tuned!

Is there still evidence of Coal Mine shaft on the Plantation Towers site?
If so is a GPS position available?
Jim, There is a rock face (looks like a slate road cut in the woods) at the Plantation Towers site, and it is marked on the map on the Blog page with a diagonally hatched square with the letters "MS" after it. I do not have GPS coordinates for it, but you are free to walk the trail and record them yourself!
