  1. I noticed that on your link to other elected officals you gave information to other cities but did not include county commisioners, or Memphis city council members which is what the link states. Could you please add this information along with district information.

  2. I wish to sign the manifesto to support the Greening Greater Memphis. I think this is a wonderful program and long overdue. I wholeheartedly support this program and encourage ALL our elected officials to get on board and support this initiative.

  4. It might be a worthwhile to include a section on this site dedicated to articles and links informing Memphians and Midsoutherners about issues pertaining to greening the city’s future and resources to help us achieve this goal. A quick google search yielded this, for instance:

  6. Just wondering about green belts being green. Asphalt is ugly, cracks, and slippery when wet. Have you thought about using some kind of permeable surfaces such as grass grids, ground up tires, wood shavings, etc, and if asphalt is a must, at least use the permeable type?

  7. I think that making Memphis greener is a wonderful initiative. I live in the High Point Terrace area, and I am beginning to have some serious concern about the Greenline that will run through the abandoned railroad tracks. While I would love for this to be a great idea, I am concerned with the crime increase. I have read of where making old tracks to trails has decreased crime, but in our already crime infested city, I only see this as an avenue into all types of Memphis neighborhoods. We have already had 2 different instances in 1 week requiring a helicopter to look through our neighborhood for a criminal, and both have involved police cars baracading the old tracks which are now clear so that they can catch the criminals. They believe the criminals are using this cleared railway to escape. I am just truly concerned for our one safer neighborhood, and for our children playing in the backyard. Mine backs up to this railway, and I would sleep better not thinking it was open to, sadly, the criminal minded people to freely stroll in and out of our neighborhood.
