The downtown Greenway loop planned to encircle downtown Greensboro is moving forward. The Greensboro Bicentennial Committee will pursue funding for the project. The greenway will be the first of its kind in North Carolina and will include parks, water features, biking paths, outdoor classrooms which also borders Greensboro College, recreational facilities, outdoor art galleries and more! the downtown loop will connect with trails that go through the city. The entry areas of the downtown greenway will include tall light columns. other features that are proposed for the greenway in one of the parks are tennis courts, multi-purpose sports building, community pavillion and a jr outdoor competition pool.

That is fantastic!!! I like the idea of greenways as an option for downtown residents. Quite frankly, I prefer greenways to huge parks, but this concept seems to offer a lot more than just a greenway. Keep us posted.

Suggestion: Start a DT Greensboro Projects & News thread and keep posting things there. It will be easier for us to follow the developments that way. You know I will be visiting it VERY often ;)

Great news. You can never go wrong with greenways, as they add to quality of life. :)

Thanks guys :)
