SHADES CREEK GREENWAY

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The Shades Creek Greenway is an exciting new addition to Birmingham’s burgeoning trail system, designed to provide a scenic, multi-use path that enhances connectivity and accessibility for the residents of East Birmingham. This proposed asphalt trail, approximately 10 feet wide, is a strategic development aimed at integrating the local community with the expansive Red Rock Trail System.

The trail is planned to run parallel to Shades Creek, effectively linking the City of Mountain Brook’s Irondale Furnace Trail with the City of Birmingham’s Flora Johnston Nature Preserve. Shades Creek Greenway promises to enhance connectivity and outdoor recreation opportunities for the community.

Engineering services being provided include surveying, trail design and construction administration. By enhancing the landscape and offering a safe, accessible route for pedestrians and cyclists, this greenway project represents a significant step forward in enriching the community’s quality of life and fostering greater engagement with Birmingham’s natural resources.
