The city’s transportation department is asking residents for input on the next phase of its Neighborhood Bike Routes Project, which aims to expand cycling options and improve safety.
An online survey is now available for residents to submit feedback until 11:59 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 7.
Proposed routes on 24 streets would add approximately 11 miles to the existing seven miles of neighborhood bike routes, connecting to landmarks like North Carolina Central University and the American Tobacco Trail. The city also plans to use traffic circles and curb extensions at select locations to slow traffic and prioritize safety for cyclists and pedestrians.
Residents can learn more about the proposed routes and participate in the survey on the project webpage. A map of the proposed routes is also available online.
Transportation staff will be available to answer questions and discuss the project at the Martin Luther King Jr. event at W.D. Hill Recreation Center on Saturday, Jan. 11, from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m.
Construction for the new routes could begin as early as fall 2025. The project is funded through the city’s Capital Improvement Plan.
