Cobblestone Apartments and surrounding neighborhood, routing north of the Action Park ballfields. Construct one greenway segment to tie into the southern end of the Action Park ballfields, connecting to the driveway terminus. From the existing Lawrence St sidewalk, construct a greenway segment along the northern edge of William Freeman Park, connecting to the greenway segment and sidewalks that will be constructed as part of the Midtown Subdivision, and ultimately, connecting this project to the Railroad St/Wake Chapel Rd intersection.

MAP NOTES
Cherry St, Washington St, and Dogwood St are narrow neighborhood streets with 16’- 18’ pavement width, adjacent drainage, and narrow ROW. Because these streets connect to Lincoln Heights Elementary School, the Lawrence St railroad crossing, the proposed greenway to Action Park, and Pine Acres Community Center & Park, consider implementing traffic calming features. Furthermore, implement pedestrian on roadway signage as well as customized wayfinding signage to each destination. Replace the existing two-bar crosswalk along the eastern leg of the Washington St/Bridge St intersection with a high visibility crosswalk. Make this intersection an all-way stop.
1
Create a corner curb at the southeast corner of the Cherry St and Bridge St intersection, and create a high visibility crosswalk with an accessible ramp to the sidewalk along the west side of Bridge St. Construct a 50’ sidewalk section east from the southeast corner of the Bridge St/Cherry St intersection (along the south side of Cherry St). and a crosswalk with an RRFB connecting to the school sidewalk on the west side of the road. Create an accessible bike/ped crossing of the closed roadway/railroad crossing, connecting Dogwood St and Lawrence St.
