    The Downtown Greenway will form a hub that will help connect the 80-plus miles of city greenways and trails that already
    exist.  It will also connect to a broader network of trails and parks, including statewide efforts, such as the Mountains
    to the Sea Trail.

What are the rules on the Greenway?

We encourage proper Trail Etiquette

  • Yield to pedestrians.  Pedestrians always have the right-of-way.
  • Keep right and pass on the left.  The trail is like a roadway.
  • Warn trail users as you approach from behind.  Announce yourself; for example, “On your left!”
  • If you stop, get off the trail.  Always allow other trail users to pass on the left.
  • Please be aware of your surroundings.  For safety, always carry a cell phone.
  • Watch out for maintenance and security needs while on the trail.  Report crime and maintenance problems right
    away.
  • Obey all signs and rules.  Stop at intersections, travel at safe speeds, and keep to the right.
  • Please keep the trail clean.  Don’t litter; recycle trash on the trail.
  • Please keep animals under control.  Keep pets on a short leash, walk pets on the right-hand shoulder, and clean animal
    waste from the trail.
  • Don’t use the trail at night.  Morehead Park, Five Points, LoFi Park, Woven Works Park & Meeting Place at Tradition Cornerstone on the Downtown Greenway are open from 5:00 am–11:00 pm. The other open sections of the Downtown Greenway are open 24/7.
