Guest column: It’s time for the city to invest in Emerald Trail, riverfront
Your turn
Riverfront Parks Now urges our city leaders to fund the Emerald Trail and its sister projects, the restoration of McCoy’s and Hogans Creeks, whether that comes from the proposed gas tax, stimulus funding, or other sources. The city’s funding commitment will provide a strong platform for completing these projects with the support of partners, neighborhoods, and businesses.
The Emerald Trail will bring investment, quality of life and connectivity across N Northside and Eastside neighborhoods, and with the creek restorations, will address flooding problems and increase public access to our downtown riverfront.
