First it used to be the Carondelet Canal, then a railway corridor, it was transformed in 2015 to a 2.6 miles long park and bicycle and pedestrian pathway. It now connects the French Quarter and Armstrong Park to the Bayou St. John and City Park.

The Greenway is one of the best ways to get from Mid-City to Downtown since it is a fully protected route and not in the street. There are a couple of street crossings with crosswalks.
