What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

A multi-use path, converting a former rail line, was completed connecting Alton Park to the Tennessee Riverwalk in Chattanooga. The project, part of the Alton Park Connector, was funded by a $500,000 grant from the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation and matching capital funds from the City of Chattanooga. The first phase of the trail, which is nearly 1.5 miles long, was recently opened.

Trust for Public Land noted the path serves as a neighborhood connector into a core boulevard of economic opportunity in the Tennessee Riverwalk.
