City of Clarksville seeks public input on Greenway

Clarksville, TN – The City of Clarksville’s Parks & Recreation department invites the citizens of Clarksville to a Public Input Workshop, Tuesday, October 15th, 2013 from 5:30pm to 6:30pm at the Parks and Recreation Office Conference Room located at 104 Public Square.

This Public Input Workshop is being conducted to receive ideas and suggestions concerning two proposed additions to the Clarksville Greenway System and also to satisfy Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) grant requirements. The City of Clarksville is preparing to submit a grant application to help with funding of the following two projects.

The first project includes a segment from the New Providence Boulevard Bridge to City property on Kraft Street (the old rail road bridge area).

The second project encompasses a half mile segment that ties into the existing Fort Defiance Trail behind the new Fort Defiance Interpretive Center heading due north along the bluffs of the Cumberland River and connecting to Trice Landing Park. The Public Input Workshop will allow the public the opportunity to review maps, ask questions and register their ideas, comments and suggestions regarding the two projects.

For further information, please contact Mark Tummons, Director of Parks and Recreation at 931.645.7476 or Ron McClurg, City Grants Administrator at 931.645.7436.
