Extension Request for Razorback Greenway Phase III Project

The Bella Vista Planning Commission is currently considering a six-month extension request for the development permit associated with Phase III of the Razorback Greenway Extension. This phase of the project, which runs from Mercy Way to Riordan Road, is a crucial component of the larger regional trail system that connects communities across Northwest Arkansas.

The extension request comes as developers seek additional time to finalize construction and ensure that the trail meets the high standards expected by both the city and the community. The Razorback Greenway is a celebrated multi-use trail that stretches for miles across the region, providing residents and visitors with a scenic route for walking, biking, and outdoor recreation. The completion of this phase in Bella Vista is seen as a significant milestone in enhancing connectivity and promoting a healthy, active lifestyle among residents.

“The Razorback Greenway is an important asset for our community, and it’s essential that we take the time needed to complete this extension properly,” said [Planning Official]. “This extension request is a routine part of the process to ensure that everything is done to the highest standard.”

The extension, if granted, will allow the developers to continue work without interruption, ensuring that the project can be completed as planned. The Greenway’s expansion into Bella Vista is expected to boost local tourism, increase property values, and provide a safe, accessible space for outdoor activities. The Planning Commission’s decision on the extension is anticipated at their next meeting, where further details will be discussed.
