Key Points

1. Water Floyds Fork is the most important feature
   of the Greenway.
2. Green Infrastructure The Greenway is a 21st
   Century Community Life Support System, as
   critical to successful, sustainable community
   development as roads, sewers, utilities and
   schools.
3. Diverse Goals The Greenway will give visitors
   opportunities to experience many different
   recreational activities woven into a variety of
   natural, cultural and agricultural resources.
4. Varied Character The Greenway will change
   subtly in character from north to south, from
   culturally-based and active recreation to
   naturally-based and more passive recreation.
5. Firm Foundation Greenway Plan is derived from
   public input and the opportunities and
   constraints of existing natural and cultural
   resources.
