59 Establishing Bikeway and Green Connections

neighborhoods south of the EAZ. Greenway extensions along Eiterman Road and the South Fork Indian Run create the potential to coordinate bike and pedestrian connectivity across U.S. 33. Long range plans emphasize connectivity with the Hyland-Croy Corridor and Red Trabue Nature Preserve. These key extensions to the east will provide the opportunity for an uninterrupted regional system along the SR 161 corridor from Darree Fields in the EAZ to the Dublin Village Center area along Sawmill Road.

Major planning elements of the Open Space Plan include the following actions:

» » Maintain greenway buffers along stream corridors to preserve the floodplain and facilitate pedestrian options.

» » Encourage setbacks along key roads that will facilitate the extension of multi-use paths.

» » Identify a balance of programmed spaces that are located within the larger framework of the natural environment.

The Open Space Plan will create an interconnected system of natural areas throughout the EAZ and beyond.
