The challenge with this approach is that creation of such a PID would require consent of a majority of residential and commercial property owners in the district and ultimately passage of enabling legislation by City Council (this guidance is subject to input from legal counsel). Whether or not this would be politically feasible at this point in the process is subject to debate.

The Greenway crosses the bottomland hardwood forest and natural levee ecosystems. Tree species that naturally occur in these ecosystems were selected based on this concept. The tree species can be switched to different streets but should not stray from this list because it has been approved by Parks and Parkways.
