0812 Shades Creek Greenway Master Plan
Shades Creek Greenway Master Plan.
Construction on a new phase of the Shades Creek Greenway is expected to begin in late 2014, according to Keith Strickland of Goodwyn, Mills and Cawood.
Phase II runs parallel to Shades Creek north of the existing end point. It will continue under I-65 to the back side of the Jefferson County Environmental Services Facility. From there, it will travel north and connect with Wildwood parking lots.
Once this phase is complete, Phase III will pick up from there. It will cross Lakeshore Parkway in the area behind Lowe’s and extend to West Homewood Park. Phase III will begin sometime after Phase II is complete.
Federal funding will sponsor 80 percent of the project while local funds will cover 20 percent.
Ultimately, the completed greenway will allow pedestrians to travel between Brookwood Village and West Homewood Park.
