Greenway System

A comprehensive master greenway plan completed by the Greenway Committee. The project is made up of five phases, which will eventually complete linkages between community facilities, government offices, recreational sites, schools, public housing, commercial establishments and other transportation corridors.

Completed sections

*Phase I - Walkway that runs along the Duck River behind Shelbyville Power, paid from recreation funds.

*Phase II - Connects to Phase I with a side walk that runs towards the square and ends at Fisherman’s Park, paid for by a grant for the State Department of Transportation.

*Phase III - Link Fisherman’s Park to Never Rest Park but right-of-way issues prevail.

*Phase IV - Trailhead, completed, and is known as Butterfly Pointe, next to the Fly Arts Center.

*Phase V - Progressing now and it is envisioned to lead from Butterfly Pointe to East Side School, link to the new library site and continues behind the old city cemetery behind First Baptist Church along the abandoned railroad track to Adult learning Center.
