City officials are expecting plans for the Busch Creek Greenway in Washington to move forward throughout next year, culminating in construction beginning in 2021.

“The Busch Creek Greenway will provide recreational and transportation options to students and the general public at large, and we are excited to finalize plans,” Maniaci said.

The greenway will be a mixture of on- and off-street trails. The project includes the construction of a 10-foot path along Busch Creek on city-owned property.

Discussions for the trail first began in 2009, when the city partnered with Trailnet, a nonprofit group that promotes active living.

MoBikeFed comment: This is a important trail opportunity for the city of Washington because it is so close to the center of the city and provides so many important connections across the city.

Congratulations to the city and local advocates for moving this important project forward.
