DCR Is Planning A Big Renovation of the Southwest Corridor Greenway

Workers in fluorescent yellow vests wrangle equipment behind a pickup truck parked on a bike path in a park surrounded by budding trees. In the foreground row of three cones, the middle of which bears a "road closed" sign, blocks access to the trail where they are working. Next to the cones is a vertical concrete bollard with a sign. The top of the sign reads "dcr" with a leaf logo; below that, "Southwest Corridor Park," below that, an arrow pointing to the upper left just above a pedestrian walking icon, pointing to a narrower walking path to the left of the sign; below that, an arrow pointing to the upper right just above a bike icon points to the bike path.
