Abstract
  • As with any public facility, the planning and development of greenways should be reflective of the needs of potential users and types of usage. Because of their relative short history, however, almost no effort has been made to follow up the expected use of greenways with empirical evidence concerning their actual usage. Intuitively, greenway planners and designers may have some notion of likely patronage, how the facility will be used, and where patrons will be coming from, but these perceptions may be inappropriate. Without actual information on greenway visitors and use, the planning process is guided by conjecture.
