Mecklenburg County officials say they will receive federal stimulus money to build a greenway connecting the UNC Charlotte campus with the University City area.
County leaders and UNCC officials say $1.25 million from the American Rescue and Recovery Act will be used to build the Toby Creek Greenway, a 2-mile trail that will wind from University City Boulevard near W.T. Harris Boulevard through the UNCC campus to the Mallard Creek Greenway near North Tryon Street.
Construction is expected to begin later this year and take about a year to complete.
When the trail is finished, students, faculty and staff at UNCC will be able to walk, jog or ride bicycles from campus to shops and residential neighborhoods in the University City area.
The Toby Creek Greenway will expand the Mallard Creek-Clark's Creek Greenway system to 7 miles in north Charlotte.
Nearly all of the Toby Creek Greenway will be on UNCC property.
