The Greenway Foundation supports
this WYDOT initiative
Proceeds from the 2017 Spring into Green fun walk, 5K and 10K event were used to purchase bike repair stations from Saris of Wisconsin, to be placed along the Greenway free for cyclists. The first two were placed at Laramie County Community College and North Cheyenne Community Park mountain bike trailhead. In 2018, more funds from the 2018 Spring into Green were used to purchase two more, now located at the Sun Valley Open Space trailhead and Lions Park. The Foundation intends to install two to four more stations with each primary Greenway segment to receive at least one station.
The stations have a rack to place the bike on for easier repair access; a pump with two attachments for both types of tubes; and an assortment of tools to do minor repairs and adjustments. Each station costs approximately $1600 and there are labor costs to install. Many locations have solar lights installed to illuminate the repair station area during low light times.

2012 Projects
In 2012, C B & L & Associates, property managers for the Frontier Mall, participated in a Corporate Volunteer Project to benefit public lands. Joan Ghani, property manager in Cheyenne, chose the Greater Cheyenne Greenway as beneficiary for their fundraiser. Over $500 was raised, and proceeds went to the Dry Creek Mile Marker Project.

2011 Projects
Dry Creek Greenway Yellowstone Road Underpass
Greenway patrons and local businesses contributed funding and labor to beautify the underpass of Yellowstone Road at Dry Creek. The Cheyenne Greenway Foundation was the fiscal agent for a grant from the Greater Cheyenne Foundation for this project.
Thomas E. Eppler Memorial Bench
Tom Eppler and several other concerned citizens made up the grassroots group who are credited with spawning the idea of a Greenway in Cheyenne. Post Earth Day 1990 found eager citizens responding to a “call for action” by organizing a cleanup of a section of Crow Creek near Missile Drive. The plan included constructing a walking path and planting trees to beautify the area. Tom was a champion for the Greenway and other quality of life projects in Cheyenne for many years. Without Tom, the Greater Cheyenne Greenway might not exist, or at the least would not be as wonderful as it is. The Foundation is pleased to be a part of recognizing Tom and his contributions to the quality of life for Cheyenne residents and visitors.
About Us
The Cheyenne Greenway Foundation was conceived in the summer of 2008 when a member of the Greenway Advisory Committee suggested that the Committee do some fundraising to fund enhancements and beautification projects on the Greenway. A walk/run event on the Greenway was a perfect fit, and so was born the Spring into Green celebration.
