have grown up. A lot of people use it from Hibbert Rd t o Brecks Rd. 4 wheelers and people just
walk it. I've been through that tunnel many times. Very run down. It would be really a nice trail for
walking and bikes.If you don't like it. Leave it be. Don'y try to ruin it for other people.

DuBOIS — Sandy Township and the City of DuBois are working together to plan a connector trail from the DuBois City Park to the Wolf Run Rails To Trails trailhead located off of Tannery Row Road in Sandy Township near Falls Creek.
“The connector trail will go through both communities providing enhanced recreational opportunities,” said township Manager Shawn Arbaugh.
Both the city and the township have agreed to provide the matching funds — $10,000 apiece — needed for the grant application.

Many generations of former and current residents have related adventures, stories and local traditions about the Highland Street Tunnel, and voiced support of a Walkway connecting DuBois and Sandy through the Highland Street Tunnel by posting home made videos and photos on this GoDuBois thread.
A survey is now being planned by the DuBois-Sandy Recreation Subcommittee seeking recreational ideas from DuBois-Sandy residents on future unplanned projects.
The proposal for the consideration of the DuBois-Sandy Recreation Subcommittee is titled:
“Connecting DuBois and Sandy Township: Building a Walkway from a West Sandy Trailhead near Triangle Springs through the Highland Street Tunnel to Shaffer Road and the DuBois Mall.”
It is hoped that DuBois-Sandy residents and organizations will consider the merits of this proposal for discussion and inclusion in the upcoming survey.
The proposal may be accessed from the GoDuBois website at:
