Fayetteville residents invited to provide feedback on future pedestrian improvements

By Staff Report, posted 1 year ago

The City of Fayetteville wants to hear from residents about where pedestrian improvements are needed. The city is updating the Fayetteville Pedestrian Plan. This plan helps city leaders and staff identify and prioritize sidewalk, trail, and intersection improvements that are needed to create a safe, walkable, and accessible city.

Residents will have three opportunities to provide their input on where they would like to see more crosswalks and sidewalks. Participants are encouraged to take an online survey or engage with the online interactive map at FayettevilleNC.gov/WalkingSafe. The survey will be open until Aug. 31.

Residents can also attend the Pedestrian Plan Workshop on Aug. 28 from 4 – 7 p.m. at the FAST Transit Center, 505 Franklin St. This workshop will provide attendees with an opportunity to speak with city staff and partners about the pedestrian plan and identify areas where they would like to see pedestrian improvements.

This plan is an update from the 2018 Fayetteville Comprehensive Pedestrian Plan.

Residents can visit FayettevilleNC.gov/WalkingSafe for more information and ongoing updates.
