HARRISONBURG, Va. (WHSV) — Harrisonburg City Council unanimously approved the next phase of construction for the Northend Greenway during Tuesday night’s meeting.
Phase One includes connecting Mt. Clinton Pike and Suter Street with a bike and pedestrian path along Blacks Run Creek, as well as stream restoration on the creek itself.
This step is something some in the Harrisonburg community have been waiting on for a long time.
“We have been really eager to see progress, to see the success of this phase one and eventual phase two of the Greenway project,” said Northend Greenway committee member Alleyn Harned. “People have been coming together, pushing and contributing their own resources toward amenities for the path to make it more of a park and an enjoyable project.”
The total cost of phase one is estimated to be about $350,000.
The money to start phase one of the project is included in this fiscal years’ budget.
If everything stays on schedule, the contractor will complete the assessments and surveys in September and finish up the plans in February of next year.
