Adopt study on closing the Richmond Greenway gap with new pedestrian bridge
In Plain English
The Richmond Greenway currently has a gap between 23rd Street and Carlson Boulevard that forces walkers and cyclists to detour around. This study proposes building a bridge across the gap plus improvements to nearby streets and parks. If approved, the city adopts the plan and begins seeking grants to fund construction within 5 years.
