New downtown greenway,
Dallas Branch Bypass creek, which crosses under Meridian Street near Bud Cramer Park, is being transformed to anchor the first segment of what city officials call the Gateway Greenway.
Crews from Miller & Miller General Contractors are busy lining the creek banks with more than 180 tons of decorative river rock. The project also includes steps leading down to the water, a concrete plaza, pedestrian bridge, heavy landscaping, park benches, street lights, sidewalk meandering along the water and 12-foot-wide greenway path.
The work is taking place along a 350-foot stretch of creek just south of A.M. Booth's Lumberyard and Lone Goose Saloon.
Toneka Lindsey, city project engineer for the Gateway Greenway, said construction is expected to wrap up in September. "It's going to be a really nice beautification project," she said.
The work happening now is the first piece of what will eventually be a longer downtown greenway linking Bud Cramer Park and the Huntsville-Madison County Veterans Memorial.
hopefully Pinhook Creek alongside the VBC and Constelllation development will be next
