Western Avenue Greenway News

Western Avenue Greenway Project board members are excited to announce that the corner property at Main and Western has been added to the Greenway. It is the former gas station property and has had all the underground tanks removed and is ready for great changes. As you drive past the corner, keep your eyes open for changes. For now, it will have green grass while the board decides possibilities to bring even more changes to the Greenway that will enhance our views and bring new uses to the Greenway. Take the time, walk through the Greenway, let ideas flow through your mind and bring suggestions to the project. Enjoy what we have now. The Greenway Project is a private organization and has to find funding themselves. Visit the Facebook page at: www.facebook.com/wagreenwayproject. More information will follow. For now, enjoy another unique West Bluff asset.
