Battle Ridge North Community to Neuse River Greenway Connector

Neighborhood & Community Connections Program

Updated: Oct 15, 2024

This project is part of the Neighborhood & Community Connections (N&CC) Program. The N&CC Program is an effort to identify, prioritize, and build new, walkable connections to parks and greenways. The N&CC Program was designed to promote health equity throughout the City, using geo-spatial modeling and data analysis to guide investment in those communities which are most at-risk of negative health outcomes and most in need of improved access to outdoor recreation opportunities.

The proposed project includes the construction of a 10-foot wide asphalt trail from Mackinac Island Lane in the Battle Ridge North Community to the Neuse River Trail between mile marker 20 and 21.  This connection aligns with the planned greenway corridor connection to Barwell Road Park and connects to the adjacent Battle Ridge community park/playground.

N&CC projects are funded through the 2014 Parks Bond Referendum and land acquisition funds, and include projects that are primarily focused on improving access to both recreation facilities and greenway trails.

Design

Our team has completed the early design plans for the project, and we want to get the public's input.

We had a drop-in style meeting on Wednesday, August 16, from 4:30 - 6:30 p.m., at the Barwell Community Center. 

Not able to attend the meeting? That is ok. Here is a presentation with projects details, and a comment form so you can let us know what you think of the project.

History

The Capital Area Greenway System was first adopted by Raleigh City Council in 1976. This plan proposed a system of linear parks located primarily along rivers, streams, and creeks and included the opportunity for an interconnected system of pedestrian trails across the region.
