Project Overview:

The proposed Washington-Greenville Greenway is a 20-mile corridor in Beaufort and Pitt counties connecting the existing South Tar River Greenway in Greenville and Downtown Washington. The Washington-Greenville Greenway is a critical missing link in the regional greenway network and is the proposed corridor for segments of East Coast Greenway’s coastal route. The Washington-Greenville Greenway Feasibility Study will evaluate potential route scenarios along the Tar River and roadway corridors to determine the preferred route. The Study will also provide cost estimates and an implementation plan to construct the greenway.

About the East Coast Greenway

The East Coast Greenway is a 3,000-mile walking and biking route from Maine to Florida that connects major cities, small towns, and parklands along the Eastern Seaboard. In North Carolina, the ECG spine route passes through the cities of Durham, Raleigh, Fayetteville, and Wilmington, while the coastal route begins in Dismal Swamp State Park at the Virginia border and meanders along the coast passing through the cities of Greenville, Washington, and Jacksonville before connecting to the spine route in Wilmington. The ECG is currently 28% complete in North Carolina.

GREENWAY NETWORK FACILITIES

Greenway facility types are provided below with corresponding photos and descriptions. 

GREENWAY:

A greenway or shared use path provides an area separate from motorized traffic for bicyclists, pedestrians, wheelchair users, skaters, joggers, etc. Greenways offer network connectivity opportunities beyond the roadway network, as they are often located along streams, in utility corridors, and parks.

SIDEPATH:  

A sidepath is a bidirectional shared use path adjacent and parallel to a roadway. Sidepaths offer a low-stress experience for bicyclists and pedestrians along network routes with high-speed or high-volume traffic.
