Traversing the southern and eastern portions of downtown Tampa, the Lee Roy Selmon Expressway provides a critical link between South Tampa, Brandon, and neighborhoods beyond.
The Selmon Greenway is a proposed multi-use trail that will closely follow the expressway alignment to provide pedestrian and bicycle access throughout the downtown area. The Greenway will provide opportunities to increase park space in downtown and incorporate art and educational elements, historical monuments, and stormwater improvements while retaining much of the parking now available under the highway deck. The Selmon Greenway will create connections between the Channel District, Ybor City and the central business district and neighborhoods beyond.
