Green Artery Meeting Planned Wednesday
Central Tampa residents are asked to help identify stops along a future trail system.
Residents are invited to help connect the green dots – the oak canopies, the neighborhood parks, the riverside oases – throughout Central Tampa by attending a meeting of the Green Artery at 7 p.m. Wednesday.
Residents know best where the prettiest spots are in their communities, so their input is sorely needed, says Lena Young-Green, co-chairwoman of the grassroots coalition.
“That’s the whole drive,” she says. “We’re not asking the city what’s important for us. We’re asking you.”

The Green Artery has been working since 2010 to establish trails connecting green spaces through more than a dozen neighborhoods, from V.M. Ybor and the Channelside District to Seminole Heights and Sulphur Springs. The target area is bounded by the Hillsborough River to the west and north; 40th Street to the east, and McKay Bay and the Channelside District to the south.
Participants at Wednesday’s meeting will continue efforts to map the trail by indentifying potential stops along the way.
