Here’s a link (Click here) to where I complained about Meredith College last November.
According to that post, the gates were closed at 5:30PM. I’ve run into the gate being closed with the sun being out around 7AM this year already. Due to this, my normal e-biking commute is either on St. Mary’s > through Glenwood Ave > Hillsborough St. or using greenway > Glen Eden > Sussex > Oberlin. I’m usually on my class 3 ebike, but I’ve also ridden on my non e-bike these ways as well. I consider myself a more experienced rider so I understand why people would not take this route.
You could take Faircloth > Wade Ave > and then jump on House Creek Greenway. There was plans to put in the cycle track on Faircloth, but according to @Brian (Click here), it’s more than likely not going to be done until 2026-2027.
I would also like to note that the flyer shown in my post above, the repairs were “hoping” to be completed around July 4th. I’m assuming that was the 2nd phase with the 3rd phase being the painting which was going to take 1 month. Last week (November 13th at around 7PM) the greenway under 440 was blocked off again. Whoever came up with this estimate clearly has poor forecasting, fortune, or psychic skills. That or the work performed here is complete garbage which also explains how the area looks under here now with some of the garbage being left behind.
