The Downtown Greenway, a collaborative project of the City of Greensboro and Action Greensboro, is a planned 4-mile walking and biking trail in the heart of Greensboro. The Greenway promotes local economic development, showcases public art, provides transportation alternatives, connects GSO’s trail system and promotes wellness and physical fitness.  

Greenway construction has spanned the terms of five mayors and is projected to cost around $50 million. To date, there are more than $600 million in development plans and in completed projects along the Downtown Greenway.
