With Mayor Strickland’s announcement today of a resolution to the mediation process with Memphis in May, the final design process to turn Tom Lee Park into the signature public park on the Mississippi River can begin. The Partnership thanks Mayor Strickland and COO Doug McGowen for their leadership through this process.

River Line, the 5-mile bike/pedestrian trail connecting the riverfront from Wolf River Greenway to Big River Crossing, and River Garden, the newest and most activated park on the riverfront, are celebrating their one-year anniversary on November 9.

You may have seen our recent posts with the captions “A riverfront for ________”. Let’s highlight the walkers, runners, bikers, birdwatchers, gardeners, and gabbers. The people who picnic and people who party; people who get up with the sun and people who stare at the stars. Poets and playmakers, moms and musicians. Let’s create a riverfront for everyone.
