A linear open space established along a corridor, such as a river, railroad, ridgeline, or other route for conservation, recreation, and transportation
A linear landscape that is identified for management purposes to integrate environmental regeneration, recreation, and cultural opportunities into the urban and rural fabric.
a linear park, alternative transportation route, or open space conservation area approved by the metro greenways commission that provides passive recreational opportunities, pedestrian and/or bicycle paths, and/or the conservation of open spaces or natural areas, as indicated in a greenway plan adopted by the commission.
a contiguous, connected system of open space systems established along natural corridors (such as rivers, floodplains and contiguous wetlands) and over land along parks, railroad right of way, nature reserves, cultural features or historic sites
a coordinated system of open space that linkes existing natural and cultural facilities using city streets, railroad rights-of-way, utility easements and natural features such as stream corridors and drainage channels
a lane dedicated for buses, taxis and bicycles
a linear open space established along either a natural corridor, such as a riverfront, stream valley, or ridge line, or over land along a railroad right of way converted to recreational use
a linear open space, or an association of linked natural areas or parks, usually established along a natural corridor such as a river or ridge, or along an existing route such as a scenic road, railroad, or canal
a linear park, an alternative transportation route, or an open space conservation area that provides passive recreational activities, pedestrian trails, and/or bicycle trails
a linear route of green space and natural habitat
a multi-use pathway for pedestrians, cyclists, rollerbladers and other users of non-motorized transportation that runs along natural and man-made corridors like rivers, parks, rail lines and, if necessary, city streets
a natural area of unbroken vegetation where recreation and conservation are the primary values
an interconnected system of protected lands that follows natural features like ridges or rivers and man-made features like abandoned railroad lines
a route open to all users of non-motorised transport for many journey types
a separate trail for pedestrians and bicyclists buffered by greenery
A greenway is a corridor of open land that provides one or more of the following benefits: (1) protection and management of natural and cultural resources; (2) provision of recreational opportunities; and (3) enhancement of the quality of life and the aesthetic appeal of neighborhoods and communities.
scenic trail or route set aside for recreational activities
A strip or belt of vegetated land that typically includes both upland and riparian areas. Greenways are often used for recreation, or to provide as a land use buffer, or to provide a corridor and habitat for wildlife.
A corridor of undeveloped land, usually in an urban area, which is set aside or used for conservation and/or recreation. Greenways can also serve as pedestrian and bicycle facilities for recreation and transportation. In this region, the term is often used to mean a Shared Use Path, rather than the more complete definition of greenway.
A street connected in a network throughout the City which is enhanced to provide a pleasant environment for pedestrians and cycling.
A corridor of protected land along rivers, valley, ridges, railroad corridors canals and other linear features. They are often used to connect various recreational, cultural and natural areas.
A linear open space; a corridor composed of natural vegetation. Greenways can be used to create connected networks of open space that include traditional parks and natural areas.
A linear park that is usually adjacent to a river, creek, stream, or canal.
A network of protected open space buffering waterways, linking larger natural preserves, and protecting the character of our region. Greenways filter run-off and harmful pollutants from our drinking water, help prevent floods and the resulting damage, provide opportunities for recreation, and protect vital natural areas that animals and plants need to live.
(Greenbelt) An area of green open space that surrounds and stretches into cities. It often contains trees and shrubs, and serves as a visual break between areas of urban buildup.
linear open space connecting parks, nature preserves, and cultural and historical sites with each other, and with developed, populated areas. The greenway may contain formal elements to provide alternative transportation routes for pedestrians and bicyclists, or it may be total undeveloped.
undeveloped land usually in cities, set aside or used for recreation or conservation.
