Summary of Project

The idea for a Greenway path in the greater Cheyenne area arose from a grassroots group called the Crow Creek Greenway Committee, which formed in 1990 and was the driving force behind getting the project started. Thirty years later and with the involvement of the City of Cheyenne, Laramie County, other governmental agencies, The Cheyenne Greenway Foundation, businesses, citizen volunteers, and schools, Cheyenne boasts more than 47 miles of completed Greenway path with ongoing efforts for future connections as the city grows.

The Greenway serves as a safe and accessible recreational corridor; a key component of transportation alternatives; an open-air science, ecology, history, and health classroom for students of all ages; and a vital public space integral in building sustainable, vibrant, and healthy neighborhoods

and a cohesive community. The Greenway connects neighborhoods, schools, and socioeconomic divides and is a critical part of the city and county infrastructure.

This project will focus on planning the last remaining section of the original Greenway Plan developed in 1992; the West Crow Creek Greenway between Martin Luther King Jr. Park and Freedom Elementary School. The planning will also include the rehabilitation of the Greenway that currently exists through Martin Luther King Jr. Park, as it does not meet current Greenway design standards.

Project Objective

The objective of this project is to develop a preferred alignment and 35% design, including the major roadway crossings, for the West Crow Creek Greenway, between Martin Luther King Jr. Park and Freedom Elementary School.
