Trails and Greenways Master Plan

Trails and Greenways Master Plan Cover Page

The purpose of the Greenville Trails & Greenways Master Plan is to develop a framework for building an integrated system of pathways that will link residents to the outdoors. The future network will provide residents with close-to-home and close-to-work access to bicycle and pedestrian trails that connect to the City’s most popular destinations. The trails and greenways will serve transportation and recreation needs and help to encourage quality, sustainable economic growth.

The City of Greenville Trails and Greenways Master Plan was prepared by Greenways Incorporated and Arbor Engineering in August of 2007.
View the the Adopted Master Plan Resolution.

Please note: Trails that are not yet constructed are conceptual in nature. As design funds become available, the city will seek public input on specific routes.
