Raleigh City Council May Put Parks, Greenway Bond On Back Burner

Raleigh's parks and greenways bond may be on the back burner until the economy starts simmering again.

City officials have been considering a $47 million bond referendum to expand and improve local parks and trails.

Some council members say it does not make sense to sell bonds in a sluggish economy. They also do not want to raise taxes to help pay for it.

The council may put off the project until the economy picks up.
