Mine Creek Trail Improvement Project

The City of Raleigh is interested in your feedback on screening and fencing, landscaping improvements, and signage for the Mine Creek Trail Improvement Project. Take the survey here! This survey will close on Jan. 31, 2024.

Improvements to a section of the Mine Creek Greenway Trail are proposed south of Shelley Road. Proposed improvements include the removal of the two existing wooden trail bridges (#32 and #33) and to realign the existing trail to the northwest side of Mine Creek. View a project location map for all proposed improvements. Another option that was considered included replacing the structures and trail in the current location.

An Open House meeting is being held on Nov. 30, 2023, from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. at Sertoma Arts Center, 1400 W Millbrook Rd, Raleigh, to update the community on the project design.

This project is being coordinated with a Raleigh Water project that includes sewer improvements along this section of Mine Creek.

History

The Capital Area Greenway System was first adopted by 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.
