The Roanoke River is most frequently mentioned as the place for a greenway.
Plans are finally underway.
Two potential greenway routes along the river through Salem were presented to the public on September 10th. Inc. The feasibility study was made possible by a grant from the Virginia Environmental Endowment. Locations north and south of the river are being considered. After the plan is completed, community leaders will begin to consider ways to fund the project, which could be built in phases. Further comments are welcome.
