Tampa Begins Work on 22-Mile Green ARTery Trail

In the heart of Tampa, beneath its arching tree canopies, something long-dreamed is beginning to breathe. The Green ARTery, a name that pulses with life and movement, is finally stirring from blueprint into being. This 22-mile interconnected pedestrian and bicycle network—a phrase that sounds almost like a secret map to adventure—isn’t just another urban upgrade. It’s a reimagining of how a city moves, how it connects, and how it lives.

As construction begins on the first two segments of the Green ARTery, the quiet murmur of concrete mixers and the soft clink of sidewalk molds are the first signs of something much bigger on the horizon. Something that might just change how Tampa walks, rides, and breathes.
