Walkway Proposal Through Ewingville

The Board of Mayor and Aldermen, BOMA, and City Government officials are entering into a study of a proposed river walk for Franklin again. 

The map below shows two proposed river walkways which will affect us.  One is on the Ewingville side of the river, shown in red and the other is across Lewisburg Pike on the Carton side shown in yellow.

BOMA will pay an engineer to look into all options in the city for this river walk. 

A BOMA work session will be on May 12, 2015 at 5:00 PM in City Hall.  Our alderman, Ann Petersen, has said that generally there is a time for residents to speak to the proposal and or stand to be recognized.  Ewingville neighbors are encouraged to attend this session on May 12, 2015 at 5:00 PM.


Ewingville residents along the river side are not likely to be in favor of a path so close to homes.  Other residents are not likely willing to permit such easy access to homes in the entire neighborhood.
This webmaster has on file printed information back to December of 2002 of meetings with the city and the neightborhood to state opposition to a walkway along the Harpeth going through the Ewingville neighborhood.
