This is a pivotal project in the City of Huntsville's BIG Picture master plan for a much broader transportation network of connectivity. The proposed Downtown to Lowe Mill greenway is one segment of the City's long-term vision to create a pedestrian connection from A & M University through downtown, to Brahan Spring Park and John Hunt Park, and on to Ditto Landing. Federal projects of this magnitude require significant outside funding, and while exciting, they take many years to design and build. The City is applying for a TIGER grant for the Downtown to Lowe Mill phase. The grant application process requires that all designs be in place and the project is "shovel ready" to begin. Should the City be unsuccessful in the grant, we will continue to look for additional funding options.
