Here are some ideas that might help you in filling out the survey and making our vision come true:

Project:  Southeast Greenway

Describe the proposed project:
Planning and development of 47 acres of Greenway land into a two-mile linear park offering community residents many amenities and 10 acres of land for 244 units of housing.

Impact of the project:

• Transform unused land into a vibrant community asset that helps meet many City needs
• Convert a heat island into a verdant open space and recreational environment
• Offer safe refuge and evacuation in times of emergency

Benefits of the project:

• Paths for walking and bicycling and 47 acres of public parkland will increase the vibrancy and livability of the community
• The Greenway project includes 9.7 acres zoned for 244 dwelling units, providing much-needed new housing
• The Greenway will be protected and enhanced by creek restoration and planting of native fire-resistant vegetation
• The development of parkland and housing in the Greenway will revitalize nearby business and residential areas and foster neighborhood partnerships and stewardship
• The Greenway will offer space for multiple community gardens, increasing food security and helping neighbors build relationships
