Sawmills Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan

 

Started in Fall 2020, WPCOG is developing a new Plan for the Town of Sawmills.

​

By Spring 2021, the Plan will recommend a vision for pedestrian and bicycle network linking area destinations, like Sawmills Elementary and Veterans Park.  Once adopted, the Plan will provide the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) local direction on the design of the funded Cajah’s Mountain Road modernization project.

Hudson Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan

 

Thanks to a competitive grant applied for by WPCOG and awarded by the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT), a new Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan was developed for the Town of Hudson.  Adopted in 2020, some of the Hudson Plan recommendations are expected to be implemented immediately within the next few years, leveraging other projects, such as the funded intersection improvements of US-321 at both Pine Mountain Road and at Mount Herman Road, as well as a locally administered project to enhance pedestrian crossings of Main St (321A) in Downtown Hudson between Cedar Valley Road and Legion Road.  Other recommendations will become a guiding vision to seek out future funding opportunities and partnerships for implementation.  To learn more about the Plan, please visit www.townofhudsonnc.com/planning-department
