The city of Lexington unveiled its newest bike trail on Saturday.
The Hope Center Trail is a 0.3 mile trail that connects Lexington's longest trail, the Legacy Trail, with The Coolavin Rail Trail on West Sixth Street.
On Saturday, a ribbon-cutting ceremony was held to celebrate the opening of the new trail.
"It's tougher to make these connections in the urban setting of downtown because you have right-of-way issues, you've got a lot of contiguous property owners, so it's a big deal that we got these connections made," Lexington Mayor Jim Gray said.
In the summer, work is scheduled to begin on the final segment of the Legacy Trail, which will run from the North Side YMCA to the Isaac Murphy Memorial Garden.
