LITTLE ROCK, AR, — Metroplan invites the public to review and comment on proposed routes for its Regional Greenways Plan. The plan identifies five active transportation routes extending over one hundred seventy (170) miles that radiate from the Arkansas River Trail loop to link all major cities and many smaller cities in the four-county region by multi-use bicycle-pedestrian paths. In February 2020, the Metroplan Board of Directors dedicated half of its Surface Transportation Block Grant (STBG) funding for the next ten years toward building the greenways system.

The Regional Greenways Plan will inform these investments.
