Crabtree Creek Trail Improvements at Lassiter Mill Road

Strengthening greenway connections

This project will improve a section of the Crabtree Creek greenway trail corridor between Hartford Street and Lassiter Mill Road. The project includes enhancements to the currently unpaved trail section and stream bank just west of Lassiter Mill Road; removal of the timber boardwalk and steps along Hartford Street and improvements along the Lassiter Mill Road vehicular bridge.

These improvements will help strengthen the cross-city connection of the Crabtree Creek Corridor. Cross-city Greenway Trails are identified as main routes of the Capital Area Greenway System, providing connections throughout the city and to neighboring jurisdictions. To the east, Crabtree Creek connects to the Neuse River Trail, Knightdale, Wake Forest, and Johnson County. To the west, it connects to Mine Creek Trail and Umstead State Park, with the completion of the Crabtree Creek West project.
