Everywhere-to-Everywhere Greenways Feasibility Study
Everywhere-to-Everywhere Greenways (E2E) is the Town’s vision for a Chapel Hill that is safer, more connected, and easier to navigate, regardless of where you’re going, and how you chose to get around.
When complete, the network’s 25+ miles of greenways will result in 57% of Chapel Hill residents living within ¼ mile of a transportation greenway, making greenways a reliable form of everyday transportation as our area grows.
Feasibility Study
The first major step in the E2E greenway effort is a network feasibility study to help us prioritize projects. Through field work, mapping, and data analysis, the E2E feasibility study will:
Analyze 25 miles of proposed greenways across Chapel Hill to determine their best routes and any viable alternatives.
Provide detailed cost estimates for each project
Create an implementation plan that establishes clear priorities and next steps for each project.
A $1 million grant through the U.S. Department of Transportation’s (USDOT) Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity (RAISE) program is funding the E2E feasibility study. The Town hired the consulting firm McAdams to assist with this work.
While this study will provide the next steps needed to proceed into design and construction, it does not directly construct the greenways.

On Thursday, January 15, you may see staff from our consultant, McAdams, along our trails, and potential future corridors. They’ll wear highly visible safety vests and will stay on public property throughout town. While they’re out, they’ll review site conditions and take photos for our E2E study.

Currently underway, the study is identifying 25 priority miles of proposed new greenways in Chapel Hill, determining their best routes, and generating a plan for the next steps to get them built.
We spoke to families (and some pirates, superheroes, and fairies) about the project’s vision for a Chapel Hill that is safer, more connected, and easier to navigate, and received input on where residents would like to see greater connectivity in our community.
