Evan - thanks for posting this link and draft master plan.
I’m posting here to continue to plug the idea of converting the freight railroad that cuts through the middle of the park into a greenway trail. A greenway leading into and through the park could connect to the existing Rocky Branch trail and the Walnut Creek trail.
I would like to see the greenway extend to at least Union station to the north, possibly further, and all the way to FV to the south.
Existing railroad bridges over Western Blvd and I-40/440 could be converted to bike/pedestrian use and provide no-car-needed access to the park for a lot of people.
When/if the Central Prison/Morehead school property is redeveloped the greenway would provide easy access to/from those locations as well.
As Dix park and the areas around it continue to develop and grow I think a greenway trail through the park will provide much greater value to the city and its citizens than would keeping a freight line running through the center what is supposed to be a “America’s next great public park.”
