When I worked with Baltimore City Parks to develop a watershed-based approach to parks management, the 3 rivers that define the city parks' system were still relatively unknown. In Denver when I was helping to create the Sand Creek Regional Greenway, the creek that ran through the former Stapleton airport had only ever been used to dump things: concrete from refurbished runways, deicing fluid, anything people wanted to forget. The greenway movement allows (actually requires) people to consider the ways that rivers (and paths along rivers) flow over and through political and ownership boundaries..... Groups like the Trust for Pubic Land and Rails to Trails spend a lot of time trying to faciliate the common problems people face as they try to create regional trails and path connections around the country....
