Triad Friends of Greenways

Greenways are economically beneficial. They improve quality of life for residents, attract tourists, and can be deciding factors when people consider moving.

Greenways also serve as safe routes for people to commute to work, school, grocery stores, locally owned businesses, and many other destinations.

Many people choose to commute by foot, bicycle, etc. instead of driving because these. tend to be less expensive forms of transportation than owning and operating a car.

Greenways also provide physical and emotional health benefits by providing people with space to exercise and a way to connect with nature.

Join our growing community of organizations and individuals standing up for our local greenways!

Maintenance
Root damage, cracked pavement, bridges without railing after sharp curves, broken planks along bridges, and standing water are a few ongoing issues that need repair. These are serious safety hazards that need t be addressed.

Directional Signs
Many sections of our greenways are difficult to navigate because there are not signs where we need them. In addition, those that are there, are often hard to see.

Connectivity
There are gaps in between segments of our greenways that need to be completed. People who travel on our greenways have to travel on busy public streets to go from one segment to the next.

Accessibility for the Elderly, Young Children, and Disabled
Our greenways have sharp inclines, stairs without alternatives, and maintenance issues that make travelling difficult, if not impossible, for many.
