\n Officials from Lowell and throughout Northwest Arkansas
\ngathered in May to break ground on a new section of the Razorback Regional
\nGreenway to go under construction soon. The section will run 2.6 miles through
\nLowell and a trailhead built just south of St. Anthony\u2019s On the Creek in
\nLowell.  The construction contract for
\nthat section of the trail and the trailhead is six months, meaning work will be
\ncompleted before end of year. It\u2019s the last section of the greenway to go under
\ncontract.<\/div>\n

\n36 Miles of Greenway Linking
\nNorthwest Arkansas Trails<\/b>
\nThe Razorback Regional Greenway is the spine of Northwest Arkansas’ growing trails
\nsystem. The greenway will cover 36 miles, stretching from Lake Bella Vista in a
\nnorthern area of Bentonville to south Fayetteville. The trail links together
\ndozens of popular community destinations including six downtown areas, three
\nmajor hospitals, 23 schools, the University of Arkansas, corporate headquarters
\nof Walmart, J.B. Hunt Transport, Inc. and Tyson Foods, Inc. with arts and
\nentertainment venues, shopping areas, historic sites, parks, playgrounds and
\nresidential communities.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nHealthier, More Active Lifestyles<\/b>
\n \u201cThe greenway continues to transform
\ncommunities in Northwest Arkansas, and I\u2019m excited to see the trail progress in
\nLowell. This section is a crucial link in the regional trail,\u201d said Misty
\nMurphy, Regional Trails Coordinator for the Northwest Arkansas Council. \u201cThe
\ngreenway offers opportunities for transportation, recreation, and new
\nadventures for Northwest Arkansas residents. “It has been adopted by our
\ncommunity just at lightning speed,” she says. “You see so many groups
\nfrom kids all the way up to retirees, that are riding and walking and biking
\naround Northwest Arkansas. It’s becoming a way of life for people to have
\nhealthier, more active lifestyles.” <\/div>\n
\nJohn McLarty, Assistant Director of the Northwest Arkansas
\nRegional Planning Commission, told those gathered at May’s ceremony that the
\ntrail will be within a half mile of about 75,000 Northwest Arkansas residents\u2019
\nhomes. Another 80,000 people in Benton and Washington counties will work less
\nthan a half mile from the trail.  Several
\ncities along the route have already completed or are planning to build spurs and
\naccess points to key locations.<\/p>\n
