Greenway Amenities
Township Council has adopted Greenway Amenity Policies within the Brookswood-Fernridge and Willoughby areas, providing a means to equitably develop public amenities.
The policies outline some of the requirements for green space including greenways, pocket parks, wildlife habitat patches, and public art installations and identify items for which greenway amenity credit is available.
