Building on the planning work done previously by the area residents and community organizations, we will be identifying priorities and necessary projects for activating the North Charles Street Greenway, formally known as the Perry South Greenway.


The Greenway was originally dedicated in 2010, and surrounds the decommissioned street, Harlan Avenue.

A place for anyone to enjoy as a peaceful spot & not feel as if they are not welcome because they aren't necessarily from that neighborhood

It would be nice to find some way to name a trail or the greenway as a whole after Dorothy Mae Richardson, who lived just a block away

No knotweed for sure (!), well maintained with lighting and greenery and plants that don't require a lot of maintenance.
