greenway^¹

Where it comes from

From green + way.

noun greenways · green way

A corridor of undeveloped land or parkland, set aside for environmental protection or recreational and primarily nonmotorized use, such as bicycle paths. By their nature, railways tend to avoid steep gradients, with the result that these greenways are mostly on level, traffic-free paths, ideal for cycling.
