FAQ

  • Who are you?

    We are a group of North Huntingdon residents who feel the Norwin community could be improved by adding a bike trail network.

  • I didn't know a group like this existed...

    We first came into existence around October 2022.

    Since then we’ve been working to build community support for trails and build a strong foundation for our organization so that we can sustain our future trails for the long-term.

    We are a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and we are 100% volunteer run.

  • What does this group do?

    Our mission is to:

    • Advocate for trails with local, county, and state government

    • Participate in the infrastructure planning, construction, and ongoing maintenance work

    • Help secure funding for trail development

    • Bring volunteers who are ready to help and build trails

    • Promote trail usage and beautification

  • Where will the trails be?

    We’ve been adding single-track mountain bike trails in Braddock’s Trail Park and are considering other locations as well.

    For shared-use paths (paved or crushed limestone), our long-term goal is to connect downtown Irwin north to the Westmoreland Heritage Trail in Trafford and south to the Great Allegheny Passage.

    That will take a while, so in the short-term, we’re exploring smaller segments of these routes close to Downtown Irwin as candidates for our first shared-use trail.

    No route has been secured and there are no construction plans today. We’re building support and raising funds to commission feasibility studies.
