Katharine has been impressed with the vision for the Southeast Greenway since she first heard about it and has been excited to be part of the campaign since 2012.  The Greenway is a vibrant corridor of open space.  It is about to become a new parkland connecting Farmers Lane with Spring Lake.  This 2.2 mile stretch of meadow and oak woodlands will need a master plan that designates paths for cyclists and pedestrians, habitat development and restoration, new opportunities for outdoor play and recreation, picnic areas, community gardens and more.  Public input will be essential to this process.
