Greenways Project


What is a Greenway?
|
A Greenway is a linear greenspace along a natural or man-made corridor. Natural corridors include river valleys or ridgelines. Man-made corridors include abandoned railroad lines, utility rights-of-way, or scenic highways. |
A Greenspace is an open space such as a park, wildlife refuge, or undeveloped floodplain. A Greenbelt is a network of greenspaces and greenways. Across the country, communities are improving the quality of life for their citizens through the planning and building of Greenways. Few communities have a comprehensive master plan like ours. |
