CityWalk BHAM – that’s the working title for a proposed, mile-long linear park underneath the soon-to-be rebuilt Interstate 59/20 elevated highway through downtown Birmingham.

State transportation officials unveiled the working name and a website, http://citywalkbham.com/, along with a Facebook page, where information can be shared about the proposal, in advance of public input sessions scheduled for this coming Tuesday and July 24. The sessions are designed to gather ideas and input from the public about the proposed park.

The linear park would run for 10 blocks underneath the rebuilt highway from 15th Street to 25th Street North – starting near the Civil Rights District and ending just beyond the Uptown entertainment district, east of the Birmingham-Jefferson Convention Complex (BJCC).Also unveiled is a potential logo for CityWalk BHAM, inspired by the shape of the proposed park space.
