In 2005, the city received a grant of $650,000 to extend Melton Lake
Greenway south under the bridge to Old Edgemoor Road, and then
down Old Edgemoor Road and Edgemoor Road to Solway Park.
This Phase IV work will extend the paved greenway
by about 2.2 miles.
Survey work began in March, 2008.
This will provide access to the
Haw Ridge Park.
