Environment
The Kingston Greenline promotes and facilitates non-motorized transportation, reducing reliance on vehicles and fossil fuels. Green infrastructure and environmentally friendly design principles (e.g. bioswales, native & pollinator-friendly plantings) are incorporated into the design and construction of Greenline projects wherever possible. By bringing people closer to Kingston's natural assets, the Greenline builds a connection between people and the land, in turn fostering a deeper respect and understanding of our natural environment.
