Bill > HJR1643

This resolution, a formal expression of opinion by the Tennessee House of Representatives and Senate, honors the Vollintine and Evergreen Greenline in Memphis on its thirtieth anniversary. Established in 1996 by community volunteers as one of Tennessee's first "rail-to-trail" projects, meaning it transformed an abandoned railway line into a public path, the Greenline is a vibrant, unpaved walking and biking trail that has become an integral part of its community. The resolution acknowledges the trail's features, such as bridges, art sculptures, and natural areas, its support from residents and volunteers, and its numerous awards, including recognition from the Rails-to-Trails Conservancy and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, ultimately expressing gratitude to its dedicated volunteers and supporters for their service.
