West Lebanon and Hanover Greenway
THE VISION: A three mile path that brings the people of West Lebanon and Hanover together.
The WaHG trail satisfies a critical need identified in multiple local and regional plans. This key active transportation connection would allow people in West Lebanon and Hanover to make many ordinary trips without the use of a vehicle.
The completion of this path will allow safe access between West Lebanon and Hanover and help ‘close the loop' creating a network with the Mascoma River Greenway and Mt. Support Shared Use Path for walking and bicycling.
Beyond this critical need, the WaHG is poised to attract visitors and bring further value to the Upper Valley.
Paths Inspire...
01
Community
The WaGH invites connection. It brings people in touch with communities, whether they want to meet friends, visit the library, shop at a store, go to practice, work, school or just explore. Providing safe paths for walking and bicycling increases health and equity, allowing those who can't or don't drive to reach their destinations.
30% of the population in most communities do not drive.
02
Economic Benefits
The WaHG creates a mobility network that will benefit local economies. People want to live and work in areas that support their desire for outdoor recreation and trips by bike or foot. Active transportation options attract businesses, raise property values, and increase local spending.
Bicyclists spend 24% more than drivers at local businesses.
Active Transportation Transforms America
03
Sustainability
The WaGH encourages mode shift by allowing people to reach destinations without a vehicle. Reducing vehicle travel reduces wear and spending on our roads, as well as cuts emissions, noise pollution, and microplastic pollution in our air and water from its single largest source, tire wear.
13% of commuters near shared-use paths commute use active modes of travel rather than driving.
