The vision for the Urban Trail is maximizing connections and access for those who walk, run, or bicycle, whether for transportation, recreation, or other purposes. This expansion of the region's trail system will link Poughkeepsie’s northern neighborhoods with key destinations, such as Marist College, Hudson Heritage, the Hudson River waterfront, the Walkway Over the Hudson, the W.R.S. Dutchess Rail Trail, the Fall Kill Creek, and a variety of nearby parks and local businesses.
