Crossing at the lights, the trail resumes south of Parmalat, coming up & crossing over the railway tracks. It is wheelchair accessible to the tracks. From here it is a rough hiking trail following along the river, passing under the Frank St. bridge, leading into the woodlands & over to the developing wetlands.
