Who, What, Where & how Around the Parks

County region, " Turner says. " Anytime
you have a transportation corridor that
brings more people in, that's going to be
a good thing. "
Houck says that the economic impacts
are being felt through the area, but are
most apparent in Travelers Rest, where
the trail construction coincided with a $3
million project to revamp the city's downtown. For example, two sisters opened a
café and local craft store at a location near
the trail and even agreed to install public
restrooms with a separate entrance behind the store for trail users. With seven
full-time employees and over $1 million
invested, the sisters say that 60 to 80 percent of their business comes from trail
users. Meanwhile, at the Walmart in Travelers Rest, bicycle sales have jumped 300

percent since the trail opened, according
to Houck.
" We've seen new businesses locate
along Main Street that appeal to pedestrians and cyclists, which brings us a different
type of business climate coming to Main
Street other than just those that are vehicleoriented, " City Administrator Dianna Turner says. " Seeing downtown as a pedestrian
or cyclist gives you a completely different
perspective from a motorist's point of view.
We're seeing those businesses that really
cater to those trail users. "
Graham believes that the trail also
fosters economic development in Greenville, with the higher quality of life attracting both residents and employers. For
other cities considering building greenways, Graham says the most important

element is " having that vision and master plan to set the stage for what you want
to become. Then the community and the
decision makers can really get behind it
and make it happen. "
Building in phases is another important strategy, as " you'll never have
enough funding to build it all in one year, "
Graham says. Opening one section will
help build its popularity and the demand
for adding more sections.
Houck recommends emphasizing
transportation benefits over recreational
benefits when seeking funding. " I use the
analogy that recreation is to music class
what transportation is to math class. When
you're cutting budgets at the school level,
you don't cut the math class, you cut the
music class. "
