Johnston Road Parking Lot
McAlpine and Four Mile Creek Greenway Trails
The parking lot at 11823 Johnston Road Charlotte, NC 28277 that serves McAlpine Creek and Four Mile Creek Greenway trails will have intermittent closures due to greenway trail construction. More information about the McAlpine Creek Greenway Trail extension project can be found at: www.PublicInput.com/51toJ
Little Sugar Creek Greenway (Morehead to East)
As part of the Atrium Health campus improvements, Atrium will be reconstructing the section of trail between Morehead and East Blvd. In addition to replacing the greenway trail, Atrium is also working with Charlotte Water on an interceptor sewer line (which must be installed before the trail can be constructed). Greenway construction completion is anticipated for February 2025, though that could change pending weather or other unanticipated delays. The greenway trail will be much improved with a 12’ wide trail and angled bridges rather than 90 degree turns. More information: https://www.publicinput.com/LittleSugarAtrium
Little Sugar Creek Greenway (Midtown)
Due to adjacent development, Little Sugar Creek Greenway will have a ~90-day full greenway closure near Midtown Park that began November 13th, 2024. The detour route is posted. Longer term, there will be scaffolding over the greenway trail for approximately 2 years, which will require a bicycle dismount zone. The detour will remain in place. Intermittent closures may occur during construction if necessary for user safety.
