On Wednesday, April 2, Connect Buncombe and Friends of Hominy Creek Greenway will be hosting a drop-in information session about extending the Hominy Creek Greenway to West Asheville Park. It will be held at the West Asheville Library from 5:30-7:30.
The route would extend north from the current greenway’s Shelburne Road entrance, following Rhododendron Creek through the old Armory property before connecting to Talmadge Street and going on to the park.
Before Helene, the City indicated a strong willingness to provide an easement through the old Armory property. Assuming this is still the case, we are trying to organize a community push to make it happen. We’ve already sent out mailers to residents in the Morningside Park soliciting feedback on a connection between the park and the greenway, and the vast majority of it was supportive.
Feel free to spread the word about the information session.
