Roanoke city planners are considering three routes that would link the Roanoke River and Tinker Creek greenways.

All three are somewhat similar in that they would extend the paved trail to about a mile and a half beyond its current end at Bennington Street, beside the regional wastewater treatment plant.

All three also include the same location for a planned footbridge just north of that facility across the Roanoke River, said Donnie Underwood, Roanoke's parks and greenways planner.

What do you think of the greenway plan? Are greenways good for the area? Join the discussion.
