Council backs feasibility study to connect local greenways and pursue state funding
Summary
A feasibility study offering three route alternatives to link Woodfin and Weaverville greenways won council support; the resolution positions the towns to seek state funds for a multi‑use path connection.
Staff presented a feasibility study that outlined three alternatives for connecting the Bram Greenway and the Ring Street Greenway, including an option following I‑26, a Merriman/Louisville alignment, and a hybrid route that would use the Newstork interchange and follow Weaverville Highway. The study does not select a preferred alignment but would put the towns in a pipeline for state funding and future engineering work.
Council voted to adopt a resolution of support so the project can proceed into funding conversations. Planning staff noted the project would position both towns for future state programs and recommended cooperation with the regional MPO and NCDOT to finalize alignment and grant applications.
