A greenway is a separate from the road trail for
pedestrians, bicyclists and non-motorized users of all ages. |
|
The trails go through parks, or create a linear
green space by buffering a trail from a road with a landscaped green strip. |
|
The greenways are not just for transport. They
provide a host of urban amenities highlighting history, culture, and
healthful physical activity. |
