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 that connects the on-road bicycle improvements on Industrial Drive to the Crabtree Creek Trail at mile marker 7 3/4. Currently, the public utilizes the “social” trail indicating a desired connection. Bicycle and pedestrian improvements at this location are recommended in the Midtown-St. Albans Area Plan.
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.
