Benefits of a Greenway  Safety  Healthy Lifestyle  Accessibility  Honouring our heritage  Tourism  Additional benefits identified by Lucasville:  Interpretive panels highlighting local history  Adequately lit  Paved, 2 lane (6 feet)  Inter- and intra-community connections  Greenery  Park and walk or bike  Separate from road (no smell, noise, wind)  Bus Service

Lucasville Greenway Can encompass more than just Lucasville Road  Active transportation (AT) trail along Lucasville Road   AT or recreational trails connecting subdivisions Allow residents to get from Lucasville to Lower  Sackville and Hammonds Plains via a safe and dedicated Greenway A Greenway would give people outside Lucasville  access to this Historical Black Community, actively connecting the multiple communities Greenways act like a sidewalk, but are funded  differently Not paid for through an area rate  Greenway Funding - is available and often goes  unused
