Lucasville Greenway



Can encompass more than just Lucasville Road



Active transportation (AT) trail along Lucasville Road

 AT or recreational trails connecting subdivisions



Allow residents to get from Lucasville to Lower Sackville and Hammonds Plains via a safe and dedicated Greenway



A Greenway would give people outside Lucasville access to this Historical Black Community, actively connecting the multiple communities



Greenways act like a sidewalk, but are funded differently



Not paid for through an area rate



Greenway Funding - is available and often goes unused
