South Chick Greenway to Brainerd Road Bike Connection

Build a bike connection from the South Chickamauga Greenway to Brainerd Road, closing a gap that currently forces cyclists onto high-speed roads to reach one of East Chattanooga's main commercial corridors. The connection would use a combination of protected bike lane and multi-use path along an existing utility easement. Brainerd Road has grocery stores, restaurants, and services that greenway-adjacent neighborhoods need, but there's no safe cycling route to reach them. This connection would turn the greenway from a recreation loop into a transportation network, enabling car-free trips for errands and commuting.
