Project Details
The City of Raleigh has an extensive Greenway system of trails connecting local parks and watersheds.
The Lake Lynn Loop Trail is located in northwest Raleigh and connects the Lake Lynn Community Center to Lynn Road. This project includes improvements to Lake Lynn Trail Loop along the west side of the loop trail, which is part of the Hare Snipe Creek Trail and extends from Ray Road to Wooten Meadow Park. The picturesque boardwalks make the park a popular destination for northwest Raleigh residents. The surrounding neighborhoods are largely residential, and the Lake Lynn trail is well used for recreation, running, walking, and by birders.
Improvements will include rehabilitating the trail, including a new base and asphalt surface, trail widening, grading, and drainage enhancements, improved access to and from adjacent communities, pavement markings, and pedestrian bridge replacement.
The project timeline for these improvements' planning, design, and construction runs from 2023-2026.
