Review of System Analyses
The greenway network was created by reviewing key connection opportunities from topics associated with ecosystem services. This included the current system of existing open spaces and connections. We looked further at opportunities that emphasized spatially connecting the existing active network including walkability, community resources, and level of traffic stress.
