The Coal Tower / Meade Avenue Trail is a proposed trail that will connect the Coal Tower trail with Meade Park. Funding will come from a $300,000 Transportation Enhancement (TEA) grant from Virginia Department of Transportation. The trail is currently in[when?] the final design stages and could be under construction in the spring of 2011. The item is on the MPO's Transportation Improvement Program[1].
The trail will be built in several phases. The city has applied for a VDOT transportation enhancement grant for a stretch between Meade Park and Meade Avenue. The section between Beer Run and 10th Street will be built when the Coal Tower development is built. A stretch from 10th Street to the Belmont Bridge will be built in 2011, according to city trail planner Chris Gensic. [2]
