Summary

Priorities 2000: Metropolitan Washington Greenways establishes a framework for green space in the Washington area, identifies regional greenway priorities, and puts for th an implementation strategy to help make these proposed greenways a reality. During the course of the planning process, over 150 proposed greenways were identified across the region and twenty projects were identified as local priorities. Out of these twenty local projects, eight regional priority projects were identified and described in detail. These projects range in scale and character, but they all provide interjurisdictional connections that are the foundation of the greenway network.
