City Of Cheyenne Reminds Residents Of Greenway Rules

With the arrival of warmer weather, the City of Cheyenne is reminding people of the rules on the city's Greenway system.

That's according to a post on the City Of Cheyenne Facebook page.

The Greenway is a 10-foot wide concrete path that is available to pedestrians and bicyclists throughout various areas of Cheyenne and adjacent areas of Laramie County The Greenway as established in 1992. It stemmed from a citizens group called the Crow Creek Greenway Committee which formed in 1990.

To date there are 47 miles of Greenway in the Cheyenne area. But it is by no means finished, According to the Greater Cheyenne Greenway page, Current goals for the Greenway system also include ongoing efforts to fill in existing gaps in the system and to make connections that serve all neighborhoods and accommodate future growth.

Rules For The Cheyenne Greenway

According to the post, Greenway users need to remember the following rules:

Both e-bikes and e-scooters are allowed on the Greenway system and must observe the 15 mph speed limit. No other motorized vehicles are allowed except for approved maintenance vehicles.

Be mindful of other users and stay to the right when using the path. Remember, users may be approaching from behind. When passing from behind, pass on the left and let others know you are there with an audible call out or ring of a bike bell.

Bikes and scooters should yield to pedestrians at intersections, sidewalks, and trails. All trail users should yield to people with disabilities.

Dogs must be on a leash, and please, don’t block the trail with an extended leash. Use pet waste stations to keep the trail and adjacent areas clean.

At road intersections, stop and make sure motorists see you before you enter traffic. Make eye contact and give a friendly wave when they stop.

Riding the Greenway at night requires lights. Use a white light in front and a red reflector in the back.

Greenway underpasses tend to be in flood prone areas and may be hazardous in inclement weather so be careful and use underpasses at your own risk.

All users should keep safety in mind and be considerate of other users.
