Greenway: Greenways in Vancouver are linear public corridors for pedestrians and cyclists that connect parks, nature reserves, cultural features, historic sites, neighbourhoods and retail areas. Hastings Park / PNE / PNE Park Hastings

Bikeway:

Commuter bikeways are designed to provide safe, direct and convenient routes with fewer cars, less noise and better air quality making bikeways a good choice for cyclists traveling to school or work. Bikeway routes are typically on local streets where cyclists share the road with other users. However, some sections of a bikeway may be on a path or on a major roadway. Where a bikeway crosses higher volume roads, centre medians or cyclist/pedestrian signals are often installed. Traffic calming measures may be installed along the length of a bikeway to reduce speeds and discourage non-local motor vehicle traffic.
