Greenway connectors are infrastructure elements that provide safe crossing through busy thoroughfares, enabling routes that link various greenway segments, and creating longer, and more interesting routes. A bridge or an underpass can link two neighborhoods, for instance, by affording a safe crossing of a busy street or highway. The Wade Avenue underpass is such a connector, as it links the Five Points neighborhood with downtown via West Street. The Varsity Greenway is a connector, as it helps link the Walnut Creek Greenway with Dix Park and the Rocky Branch Trail. In a larger sense, Umstead Park is a connector, as it links the Cary and Raleigh Greenway systems.
