The proposed greenway would run along North Broadway and connect to 125 miles of existing trails.
The city of Knoxville, Tennessee approved $1 million in funding for a new greenway along North Broadway, reports Hope McAlee for WATE.
According to McAlee, “The funding includes money for a sidewalk, pedestrian crossing improvements and ADA accessibility upgrades along North Broadway between Woodland Avenue and the existing First Creek Greenway, which is south of Cecil Avenue.” The funds will also go toward acquiring the property necessary to build the greenway.
“Over the last year, improvements have been made to North Broadway, including the addition of a raised median being added to prevent northbound left turns to southbound Hall of Fame Drive and a $2.5 million project that added sidewalks near the I-640 interchange.” The details of the new greenway are not yet planned, but it will add to the city’s 125-mile greenway network.
