A “greenway” is a linear corridor of land reserved and appropriately surfaced for public use.  They are most commonly used as recreational trails for the purposes of walking, hiking and bicycling, and may include sidewalk connections and on-street bicycle lanes. 

The Salmon Arm Greenways Strategy was adopted in 2011 with a purpose to provide direction for the long-term planning and implementation of a trail/path network spanning the City providing outdoor recreation and tourism opportunities, accommodating alternative transportation, and supporting corridors for ecological connectivity.
