On March 26, 2008, the OGT acquired the property known as the 6th Street Rail Trail with its northern terminus the south right of way line of Northwest 16th Avenue and its southern terminus the north terminus of the Gainesville Downtown Connector. OGT has agreed to amend the Fifty (50) year sublease of the Gainesville Downtown Connector to add the 6th Street Rail Trail.
