Trails and Greenways Master plan

Several months ago, I posted a preliminary draft copy of the City of Greenville’s trails and greenway plan. Since then, a few people have asked where they could find a high-res version of that map. Well, the City now has the completed Trails and Greenways Master Plan available on-line. From the webpage you can download a large pdf file of the map. The completed plan is a hub and spokes model that links parks and other points of interest (hubs) with trails that connect them (spokes). This plan calls for an additional 50 miles of greenway trail, an additional 53 miles of street based trail, and an additional 10 miles of natural surface trail, all within the city limits.

Preliminary work has already begun toward construction of the new 1.5-mile trail between Cleveland Park and Greenville Tech. The scheduled completion date will be spring/summer of 2008.

Wow, this plan is amazing! I'm looking forward to all of the trails planned for the area between Laurens Rd. and I-385, near Hillside Dr.
