I got the word about why Raleigh’s much-anticipated House Creek Greenway will be opening in early September now, rather than the July 19th I had initially mentioned. The delay comes as a result of the contractor needing to put up over 3,000 feet of railing along the top of the retaining wall.
House Creek Greenway covers some challenging topography. It’s a big project that has been anticipated for many years. While it would be great if it was open now, another few months are worth the investment to get it right.
Funny – the Parks & Rec GovDelivery email that went out earlier today said “August”. Still a bit of confusion around this one…
Even the Park Plan page has it wrong!

That’s probably accurate then. Two weeks ago the guess was “early September,” so the GovDelivery info is probably correct. I don’t have a firm date yet.
This is one occasion when I’ll be happy to be wrong. Providing it opens early, that is!
