March 2009

Ground breaking for the initial 1.3 mile link of the long-planned 4.8 mile Downtown Greenway was held on March 7. For pictures of the event see the Springboard. The western leg of this Greenway will be along the old A&Y (now NS) right of way. Until the RR stops operating (one "train" a week or so) on this section it could be called a "Rail with Greenway". To keep abreast of future efforts the Downtown Greenway website has frequent coverage of this and other trails and greenway projects in the Triad area. On April 30th Downtown Greenway released a Greenway Flyer on news of the groundbreaking.
