Greenways and Blueways

Planned and existing greenways were also included in the network. Blueways were also included as part of the greenway network to allow for simpler presentation of cycle routes on the county maps. Blueways are off-road cycle routes typically parallel to river, lakes and streams. These were utilised as part of the cycle networks where possible to provide safe cycle routes and to ensure that the cycle network is not overly dense. A list of completed, in progress and proposed greenways was provided by the NTA and was included in CycleConnects. Where a greenway is at early planning or feasibility stage, this has been noted on the relevant CycleConnects cycle network map.
