The Greenway Council has been given the green light by McMinnville officials to install a walking trail in an area that could possibly be the future site of phase two for the Barren Fork River Greenway.Council members requested access to begin clearing a walking trail in the wooded area from Cedar Street to Beersheba Street in anticipation for future development of phase two of the greenway from Sallys Alley to Rocket Park.McMinnville Mayor Jimmy Haley attended a meeting with the council and presented the request before Parks and Recreation Committee members Ben Newman and Rick Barnes.“The biggest thing is they want to go down and mark off the trail and then get volunteers to clear the path in anticipation of extension of the greenway or to have a hiking, biking, walking or whatever trail is going to be down there,” said Haley.The trail will stop before the bridge on Beersheba Street because the city has yet to receive permission from TDOT for an easement under the bridge. “If we have a trail that stops at the bridge, then that would help us work with TDOT to get that open underneath the bridge,” said Newman. “It’s harder to convince them if you don’t have an existing trail.”Barnes added, “I think the problem for TDOT was liability.
