The City of Huntsville Planning Department recently hosted a public input meeting at City Hall for the North Huntsville Greenway, and reported significant and productive interaction with local residents.
The overall goal of the project is to narrow the gap between the pedestrian access and redevelopment corridor (PARC) near downtown and the Meek Greenway near the campus of Alabama A&M University.

The city uneiled renderings of the plan from Lord Aeck Sargent:
This community-driven effort is part of a broader vision outlined in the city’s Greenway Master Plan, supported by The BIG Picture Comprehensive Plan. Together, these guiding frameworks are helping shape a connected trail network that supports:
- Economic development
- Tourism and placemaking
- Health and wellness
- Safe, multimodal transportation
- Connection to natural landscapes and cultural heritage
City officials say they remain focused on building a greenway that honors “the unique character of North Huntsville while creating lasting benefits for generations to come.”
“Greenways are one of the smartest investments a city can make. They connect people to places, promote healthier lifestyles and help shape neighborhoods into destinations. What we’re seeing in North Huntsville is a community helping to lead that transformation, and we’re proud to support them every step of the way.”
Mayor Tommy Battle
