The City of Hendersonville is seeking public input on a grant project proposal that could connect the Ecusta Trail to the Oklawaha Greenway and 7th Avenue.
The public is invited to attend a drop-in public meeting on Tuesday, March 29th from 4:00 – 6:00 p.m. at the City Operations Center at 305 Williams Street. The meeting will provide grant project details, allow participants to provide feedback, and show their local support for improving bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure.
The grant proposal titled ‘Above The Mud’ includes three improvements to bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure in the City:
- Construct a new greenway along Mud Creek to connect the Oklawaha Greenway to the Ecusta Trail
- Improve a frequently flooded section of the Oklawaha Greenway
- Construct streetscape improvements on 7th Avenue from the railroad to the Oklawaha Greenway
US Department of Transportation RAISE grants (Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity) help communities around the country carry out projects with significant local or regional impact. The City of Hendersonville wants to hear from the community to help inform the grant application process and plan for future infrastructure improvements.
