Greenways are a vital link in bringing the Miami River to its full potential. Generally, its goals are to make the river more accessible to the public, and the land more accessible to boaters. Greenways systems have been successfully devised in Cleveland, Chattanooga, and Providence, where public access, parks, paths, and bikeways coexist with maritime uses. Here is the Miami River Commission's vision on Greenways: The Miami River is a valuable natural and historic resource and the namesake of our community. We envision the Miami River as an ecological system that serves to enrich the lives of residents throughout the Miami metropolitan area. The Miami River Greenway will help to improve the future economic well-being of our community by increasing public access to the waterway, sustaining the "working river" maritime shipping industry, restoring water quality in the river channel, serving as an attractive destination for local residents and visitors, encouraging appropriate adjacent land use, fostering an ethic of stewardship for plants and animals native to the river landscape, and celebrating the multicultural ethnicity of our community.
