Crabtree Creek Trail Improvements at Lassiter Mill Road

Strengthening greenway connections

This project will improve a section of the Crabtree Creek greenway trail corridor between Hartford Street and Lassiter Mill Road. The project includes enhancements to the currently unpaved trail section and stream bank just west of Lassiter Mill Road; removal of the timber boardwalk and steps along Hartford Street and improvements along the Lassiter Mill Road vehicular bridge.

These improvements will help strengthen the cross-city connection of the Crabtree Creek Corridor. Cross-city Greenway Trails are identified as main routes of the Capital Area Greenway System, providing connections throughout the city and to neighboring jurisdictions. To the east, Crabtree Creek connects to the Neuse River Trail, Knightdale, Wake Forest, and Johnson County. To the west, it connects to Mine Creek Trail and Umstead State Park, with the completion of the Crabtree Creek West project.

Planning

The Crabtree Creek Trail Improvements at Lassiter Mill Road project is being conducted in three phases. The first phase included a survey, flood study, public engagement process, and alternative analysis. This phase was completed in the Summer of 2019.  Public involvement meetings were held from March through April 2019. The project is currently in the second phase which includes the design and permitting. This is anticipated to be completed in Early 2022. The third phase will include the construction which is estimated to be completed in Late 2023.

Design

The design team is working on some minor changes to the design to better accommodate construction accessibility. They are also working on acquiring the necessary environmental permits needed for this type of project.
