Description: The College Station Greenways Program seeks to preserve a network of natural corridors along rivers, streams, utility corridors, and rights-of-way. Some corridors in the system include multi-use paths and others remain vegetated areas with no improvements for human access. Greenways are a resource that serve a variety of functions including but not limited to floodplain management, protection of open space, and provide for wildlife and plant habitats. Multi-use paths within a greenway can provide alternate transportation routes for pedestrians and bicyclists, as well as recreation and health benefits. Multi-use paths also create connections to parks, neighborhoods, workplaces, schools, cultural and historical areas, and shopping centers. The goals of the program are to:Improve Connectivity and Accessibility, Increase Safety, Increase Bicycling and Walking Outdoors, and Encourage Environmental Stewardship. To date, the City has constructed 8 miles of multi-use paths and has protected over 600 acres of greenways. An additional six miles of multi-use paths are funded. Project information on multi-use paths underway can be found here. For more information see: http://cstx.gov/index.aspx?page=2959
