HENRICO COUNTY, Va. (WTVR) -- Scott Shortt must hit the pavement during his daily strolls, but this West Ender may have another option soon.

"Getting a little exercise in. Doing some walking,” says Shortt. "Oh, Wow! That would be very interesting. I would definitely enjoy that."

The county is proposing to build a two-mile long walkway on county owned land from Patterson Avenue near Old Coach Lane to Ridgefield Parkway. The  Tuckahoe Creek Park Boardwalk bordering Goochland is not a new idea. It's been in the works since 1989.

New mother Lindsay Robjent says while there may be more pressing needs in the county to spend taxpayer money on she says the park will be a welcome addition.
