Middle Creek Greenway Extension (formerly Arbor Creek)

Middle Creek Greenway Extension (formerly Arbor Creek)

TranSystems designed the new three-mile Middle Creek Greenway extension for the Town of Holly Springs. The project corridor runs along Middle Creek between Sunset Lake and Holly Springs Road. The scope of work for the greenway design included all phases from schematic design through construction drawings and permitting; technical specifications and bid documents; bidding assistance, and construction administration. This project also included existing conditions mapping through aerial photography and field survey; stream and wetland delineation; aquatic surveys for Freshwater Mussel, Carolina Madtom, and the Neuse River Waterdog species; greenway easement mapping; and floodplain modeling. TranSystems is also providing land surveying services for the greenway project. Prior to the pandemic, a public participation process that included an Open House forum in addition to a day dedicated for Stakeholder Walks, was included with the project, allowing those interested to see how the early greenway trail routing is evolving. With the limitation on public gatherings due to COVID-19, we shifted the methodology for public engagement to include an online presentation to describe the status of work and provide updates on the proposed greenway routing.
