You're invited review conceptual design alternatives for Owen Park. The drop-in style workshop will take place from 4 to 7 p.m. on Tuesday, June 16 at the Bee Tree Fire Substation at 510 Bee Tree Road in Swannanoa.

The New Haw Creek Sidewalk project remains on track for completion in late 2026. We're happy to report that the project team has reached significant milestones:

Underground Stormwater Work: 100% Completed
Retaining Walls: Nearly finished
What's Next: Crews will transition to surface work (which means we will start to see the actual sidewalk take shape!)

To accelerate construction progress while school is out, the contractor will implement longer lane closure hours throughout the summer months, starting June 11. When schools start again in August, the contractor will resume the normal schedule with no lane closures from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. and from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m.

We appreciate your continued patience and caution while driving through the work zone as we build a safer, more walkable community!
