Project Overview
The Reed Creek Greenway corridor stretches 2.75 miles from its northern terminus at Riverside Drive to its southern terminus at the end of the pedestrian bridge over I-240 at Clingman Ave. The existing 0.86 mile section of greenway runs along Reed Creek between W.T. Weaver Boulevard and Elizabeth Street. There are two gaps in the corridor to the north and south of the existing greenway. The completion of the Reed Creek Greenway Corridor is an important part of the larger greenway network. It will strengthen transportation connectivity from downtown to North Asheville, UNCA, and the River Arts District. It will also improve safe routes to schools and connections for parents, students, and employees to and from schools and nearby daycare facilities.
An existing portion of the Reed Creek Greenway spans about 0.86 miles from the intersection of Broadway Street and WT Weaver Boulevard to Elizabeth Street. Following the completion of the Reed Creek Greenway Extension Feasibility Study, voters approved the 2024 General Obligation Bond, which allocated funding to design and construction on a northern extension of the Reed Creek Greenway.
A Southward extension of the Reed Creek Greenway will be programmed for design and construction at a future date as funding allows.
