MECKLENBURG COUNTY MECKLENBURG COUNTY CLARKS CREEK GREENWAY BROWNE’S FERRY NEIGHBORHOOD

WHAT IS A GREENWAY? Greenways are corridors of protected open space managed for conservation and recreation purposes. Greenways often follow natural land or water features and link parks, nature preserves, cultural features and historic sites with each other and with populated areas. Greenways can be publicly or privately owned and some are the results of public/private partnerships.

WHAT IS A GREENWAY?  Active Transportation  Linear Public Park  Recreation  Health and Fitness  Desirable Amenity  Access to destinations  Creates a sense of community

WHAT IS A GREENWAY?  County Standard is a 10’ wide asphalt trail conforming to AASHTO and ADA for recreational trails.  38 miles are complete and open.  Mecklenburg County Greenway Plan calls for 202 miles

CLARKS CREEK TRIBUTARY # 1

LAND ACQUISITION PROCESS  County receives a written request from the land owner to proceed.  County hires a surveyor to prepare a plat of the property to be transferred.  County has property appraised based on survey.  County attorney prepared legal documents and provides the plat for review by the land owner.

GREENWAYS AND SAFETY  Greenway trails have had the fewest issues among Mecklenburg County Park and Recreation amenities.  A 2004 study by UNC Charlotte on our greenways found that greenways do not increase crime and, in some instances, crime is slightly reduced.  Crime can occur anywhere; there is no perfectly safe environment. Emergencies 911; Otherwise 311

GREENWAYS AND SAFETY  Common sense prevails-if you have valuables in your car, locate them out of sight and lock the vehicle. Avoid the trail during floods. Enjoy walking with a friend.  Park Rangers and volunteer Park Ambassadors travel the trails.  Cyclists must have lights and reflectors after dark.  Park Rangers and volunteer Park Ambassadors travel the trails.
