Description
This 0.2 mile sidewalk is part of a network of multi-use trails, paths, and on-road facilities in Bettendorf, IA. It runs parallel to George Thuenen Drive (17th St.) and connects State St. in downtown Bettendorf to the Mississippi River Trail. Most of this 6-foot sidewalk is a bridge crossing over railroad tracks. A concrete barrier separates the sidewalk from the road. Walking, running, and biking with caution are possible.
