A new greenbelt in the Belmont Heights area featuring a 10-foot-wide walking path and new landscaping will officially open to the public Saturday.

The Red Car Greenbelt includes 3.66 acres that will link walkers and bikers to the bike path at 6th Street, which connects to the city’s bike route network, officials said.

The greenbelt includes new drought-tolerant native landscaping, pathway lighting, boulders for seating, doggie bag dispensers and trash receptacles and wood textured concrete fencing on entry points at 4th Street and Park Avenue, and Ximeno Avenue south of 7th Street.

The project cost $1.15 million, paid for with: $450,000 from the Land and Water Conservation Fund, $300,000 in county Proposition A grant funding, $180,000 from the Fourth Supervisory District, $150,000 from the Measure A sales tax, and $70,000 from 3rd Council District funds.

The grand opening celebration will be held at noon on Saturday at the northwest corner of 4th Street and Park Avenue.
