This report includes the 23 Design Guidelines for Greenways that were in the concluding chapter of Dr. Anne Lusk's dissertation titled Guidelines for Greenways: Determining the Distance to, Features of, and Human Needs Met by Destinations on Multi-Use Corridors. The research, related to health warnings about obesity and the need for environments that foster human well-being, posed the question, What environment might encourage more people to exercise and what environment would be responsive to satisfying physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual needs?
