This update to the Town’s Pedestrian Plan was adopted in 2024. Its purpose was to evaluate the existing 2009 Pedestrian Plan, reanalyze current walking conditions, and recommend future improvement projects considering safety, connectivity, and well-being for people of all ages and abilities. It was the culmination of more than a year of work that began with the award of a North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) Integrated Mobility Division (IMD) and Transportation Planning Division Grant. The development of the Plan included the selection of a consultant, stakeholder meetings, public outreach, extensive fieldwork, as well as in-depth geographic and planning analyses.
