Greenway Trails

This dataset contains information on Cary’s current and proposed greenway system, including connectors and street side trails.A greenway is a linear parcel of land set aside to preserve open space. Greenways are generally located in floodplain areas, along wooded stream corridors unsuitable for development. Often these corridors that harbor Cary’s greenway trails provide access to these pristine areas that otherwise would have been lost.Since 1980, the Town of Cary has been building greenways to bring open spaces within easy walking distance of our homes. Greenways are an environmental, economic, and recreational resource for all to enjoy.Greenways enhance our lives in many ways by: Providing a recreational amenity for walking, jogging, and bicycling in a natural setting remote from traffic;Preserving pristine open space to enhance Cary's quality of life;Linking our neighborhoods with parks, schools, community centers, and other neighborhoods;Helping control stormwater runoff, curb erosion, and minimize flooding which can damage our property;Improving Cary's water quality by buffering streams, filtering pollutants, and recharging our groundwater;Adding value to our property by merit of proximity.For more information see our greenways web page.This dataset is updated as new greenway trails are proposed and existing greenway trails are altered.

本数据集收录了凯里市现有及拟议中的绿色通道系统信息，包括连接器和路边步道。绿色通道是指为保留开放空间而划设的线性土地。绿色通道通常位于洪泛区、不适于开发的树林溪流走廊。这些走廊往往为凯里市的绿色通道步道提供了通往这些原始区域的通道，否则这些区域可能会丧失。自1980年以来，凯里镇一直在建设绿色通道，以便将开放空间置于我们住所的步行范围内。绿色通道是环境、经济和娱乐资源，供所有人共享。绿色通道通过以下方式丰富我们的生活：在远离交通的自然环境中提供步行、慢跑和骑自行车的休闲娱乐设施；保护原始开放空间，提升凯里市的生活质量；将我们的社区与公园、学校、社区中心和其它社区相连；帮助控制暴雨径流、减缓侵蚀、最小化洪水，以减轻对我们的财产损害；通过缓冲溪流、过滤污染物和补充地下水，改善凯里市的水质；由于地理位置的便利，提升我们财产的价值。欲了解更多信息，请访问我们的绿色通道网页。本数据集在新的绿色通道步道被提议和现有的绿色通道步道发生变更时更新。
