COMMENTS/DISCUSSION: Mr. Dennis Lynch of the Sierra Club expressed concern about the Walnut Grove Middle project and asked that the board consider not changing the horizon year of the project or to delay their decision until after a final decision is made on Shelby Farms Parkway, and also to wait until after the Household Travel Survey is completed to analyze expected traffic patterns.

  • Birding at T. O. Fuller and Nearby Areas
    Birds of T. O. Fuller State Park 1500 Mitchell Road, Memphis, Tennessee 38109 / 901-543-7581 T.O. Fuller State Park occurs on a bluff overlooking the floodplain of the Mississippi River. Lying in the heart of the Mississippi Flyway, the park offers great opportunities to see migrating birds in the spring and fall. Look for warblers, vireos, thrushes and flycatchers along the eight miles of park trails and along forest edges. A new wildlife enhancement area containing four miles of paved trails is under development and will consist of floodplain wetlands, wildflower valleys, native grassy meadows, and upland ponds. The area has already attracted rare black-bellied whistling ducks, and nesting black-necked stilts. TO Fuller now has 140 species of birds observed. Responsible Birding - Do not endanger the welfare of birds. - Tread lightly and respect bird habitat. - Silence is golden. - Do not use electronic sound devices to attract birds during nesting season, May-July. - Take extra care when in a nesting area. - Always respect the law and the rights of others, violators subject to prosecution. - Do not trespass on private property. - Avoid pointing your binoculars at other people or their homes. - Limit group sizes in areas that are not conducive to large crowds.

  • Portion of the Shelby Farms Greenline, Memphis, Tennessee
    Division of Remediation th 312 Rosa L. Parks Avenue, 14 Floor, Nashville, TN 37243 Tel: 615-532-0900 Fax: 615-532-0938 Portion of the Shelby Farms Greenline, Memphis, Tennessee A portion of the Shelby County Greenline project involved a 13.3 mile stretch of abandoned railway that ran from an old railroad station in Cordova, Tennessee to inner city Memphis. The first seven miles of this 100-foot wide corridor was assessed under a $347,080 EPA 104(k) Brownfields Hazardous Substances Assessment grant, awarded in 2008. These funds helped convert the old rail line into a trail converging at Shelby Farms Park, resulting in quality of life benefits to residents and adding potential eco-tourism dollars as a boost to economic development. The EPA funds also helped lay the groundwork for the extension of the greenline to the east. Residential development is dense along the edges of portions of the corridor, which had become a dumping ground for household and industrial debris. Through the environmental assessments completed under the grant, various metals and poly-aromatic hydrocarbons were found in the soil. This information was taken into consideration when designing the trail and contamination was addressed. The Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation, Division of Remediation staff provided technical oversight for Shelby County’s EPA Brownfields grant. This railroad corridor is surrounded by a canopy of large oaks and other shade trees, providing a source of shade and natural cover for trail users in the summer months. The access to this portion of the greenline have a lot of options, as parts of the route open up to residential neighborhoods and links communities to parks and other recreational amenities.
