The Greenway's Future

 

(Updated Late March, 2009)

• A grant for $123,000 from the Bradley Health Initiative Endowment Fund was received in July 2008 to fund the next portion of Phase IV (City School property to Mouse Creek Road underpass). The City of Cleveland will complete this section of the Greenway in 2009.  
• A government grant of $569,000 for Phase V (Raider Drive to Tinsley Park) was received in August 2008. Phase V will proceed north under Raider Drive, cross Mouse Creek behind Raider Field and connect with the current Tinsley Park Trail. It will connect with the Greenway Phase IV at the Mouse Creek Road underpass.  
• A future phase calls for the southern origination point of the greenway at the Village Green. This phase will go under Inman Street (underpass already completed) and will terminate at Willow Street.
• In years to come, the greenway will continue from Mohawk Drive to the Hiwassee River. The exact route and surfaces have not been determined, but will likely incorporate the Cleveland Utilities easement near the soccer complex.
• “Spurs” of the original conception of the Greenway (Village Green to Hiwassee) have20been considered and include a passage under 25th Street from Spring Creek development to Lee University, a neighborhood connector north along Fillauer Branch, and passage under Keith Street from Tinsley Park to the McKenzie Financial Center.
