Summary of Public Engagement

Thanks to everyone who shared their perspectives on the Estes Drive Extension Bicycle and Pedestrian Improvements. Ove the past few months we held multiple opportunities for public participation, including an open house, on-site pop-up, and a project website with an online community survey. The summary report of the public engagement period can be found here.

Community and stakeholder feedback is one of several factors that go into the decision about how to design and where to locate this project – or any of the Town's projects. We also consider user experience, NCDOT input, accessibility, environmental impacts, cost, safety, utilities, construction and maintenance considerations, and overall network connectivity.

Based on consideration of all the above factors, Town staff expect to recommend a preferred option to the Town Manager by late April. After that, our engineering and design firm will continue designing the selected option.
