CLEVELAND, Tenn. – Cleveland is one step closer to adding another connection to the Cleveland/Bradley County Greenway and is seeking a grant to improve pedestrian access along 25th Street, which is part of the State Route 60 corridor.
In a recent meeting, city leaders discussed creation of a pedestrian route along Ocoee Crossing linking neighborhoods in the northern reaches of Ocoee Street to Tinsley Park, which is part of the greenway.
The project, funded by a Tennessee Department of Transportation grant, is going into the design phase, said City Manager Janice Casteel.
Vice Mayor George Poe voiced concerns about the time needed to complete the greenway connector.
And Councilman David May said other sidewalk projects are also in demand, citing residents eager to connect the greenway to the western portions of 20th Street beyond Stuart Elementary.
