1.2 Background

The City of Greenville is located about 40 miles east of Dallas and has an estimated population of 32,717—an increase of nearly 7,000 residents since 2010. This growth reflects the City's steady expansion, driven by increased residential development starting in 2018. While Greenville currently has trails within its city parks, there is a opportunity to enhance connectivity by linking key destinations and residential areas throughout the city. The City of Greenville has experienced rapid growth, creating a need for a Trails and Bikeways Master Plan to meet the community's expectations for the future. Currently, the City has limited on-street trails and off-street trail facilities. The Comprehensive Plan, which includes the development of a citywide trails system, is available on the City’s website under Community Development. It can also access it directly at the following link:
