The Coal Tower / Meade Avenue Trail is a proposed trail that will connect the Downtown Transit Center to Meade Park. There, it will connect to new sidewalk running along Chesapeake Street as far as Riverview Park.[1] The trail will be built in three phases. The section between Beer Run and 10th Street will be built in conjunction with the City Walk development and paid for by City Walk owner Coran Capshaw of Red Light Management. A stretch from 10th Street to the Belmont Bridge could be built in 2013, according to the city's June 2013 Construction Report.[2] The third leg, running along the east side of Meade Avenue between Beer Run and Meade Park, is scheduled to be built by December 2013.[3]. Funding for it will come from a $300,000 Transportation Enhancement (TEA) grant from Virginia Department of Transportation. The Coal Tower / Meade Avenue Trail was listed as an item on the MPO's 2009 Transportation Improvement Program.[4] At that time, completion of the trail was planned for the summer of 2009.
