Preliminary Estimate

All projects include in estimate a 25% contingency based on construction cost.

Strategic Goal:

Greenway location aligns well with Town Center Core concepts and might be another great

public/private investment opportunity. With Crabtree Hatcher Creek Greenway wrapping up, this is

likely the next big greenway project. Staff will need to give consideration to the sequencing of the

stream restoration needs to stabilize the area before construction of the trail. The updated CTP will

influence timing and priority. CMAQ, Wake County Open Space, PARTF and CWMT grant opportunities

may exist.

Construction

Improved Transportation Mobility

The project would improve pedestrian options and greenway trails that are supported by the master

plan. This site is in close proximity to the Historic Church parking lot and would provide easy access

to the trail. The stream restoration would address water quality and erosion control issues that

currently exist.

Between Church Street and NC54 - west side of railroad tracks

Restore 0.4 miles of Sawmill Creek stream from erosion issues and develop 1.75 miles greenway trail
