Reviewed 2026-10-22. BREC identifies the completed 1.75-mile Quail Drive–Perkins Park course; a further 3.75-mile eastern extension remains planned. BREC’s construction portfolio and its project partner document paved greenways. Use current signs rather than treating an older plan or future Health Loop as a completed through-ride. Greenway etiquette limits bikes to 15 mph and requires helmets for riders/passengers under 12. This is a source review, not a same-day inspection. Recheck the linked manager before travel.
