Raleigh Greenway Plan Update

Noticed that Cary’s website has a page about the Walnut Creek greenway

This would go from downtown Cary behind Fenton and Cary Towne Center, then along I-40 to South Hills Mall. The creek itself continues to Lake Johnson, through Centennial Campus, to the south edge of DTR and beyond towards Garner.

I’m bitter about this because construction was proposed at some point when I was a child; I told my parents to go to the public hearing, they said it went badly, and nothing ever happened.

Raleigh shows the connection between Lake Johnson and South Hills (via the Buck Jones Rd bridge over I-40) as a long-term project. This has been on planning maps since the OG greenway plan in 1976; it’s basically the last stretch needed to complete a 40-mile “Major Loop B” around Raleigh.
