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

A major step in achieving our E2E vision is a feasibility study to help us better understand and prioritize projects. Through field work, mapping, data analysis, and community input, the E2E feasibility study will:

  • 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.

For more information about mobility and greenway projects that are underway, visit our Transportation and Mobility Hub.

  • Share Hello, I have attempted to bike to Glenwood elementary school from Unc Campus recently. I was glad to see there is a trail to Glenwood Elementary, which is beautiful but poorly maintained for biking. It is a trail off of Highland Woods Road. I slipped and fell because the trail has many ditches on the downhill portion.

    Sorry to hear about your fall - hope you are okay! The area you have described sounds like it’s a UNC-CH maintained trail that is associated with the sports facilities on Old Mason Farm/Finley Golf Course Road. The Town of Chapel Hill does not have jurisdiction there to maintain the trail surface. We can forward your message to contacts at UNC. The Everywhere to Everywhere Feasibility Study IS examining this route! We will have options for the public to weigh in on shortly. Stay tuned!

    LM asked 8 months ago

    Apologies for the delay! Side paths along Mount Carmel Church Rd (to Parker and Bennett Rd) are in the Town's long-range plans (Mobility and Connectivity Plan Long-Term Network Facilities Map). The Everywhere to Everywhere Feasibility Study is not examining either of those potential projects and they are not a priority at the moment. The upcoming NS RAPID project will bring improvements to 15-501 from the Southern Village Park and Ride to the James Taylor Bridge.

  • Share Is there any serious movement about putting a graded or improved crossing between Southern Village and the currently under development South Creek? I imagine there is going to be a lot of walking between the two and the current cross walk situation seems dangerous and uncomfortable. on Facebook Share Is there any serious movement about putting a graded or improved crossing between Southern Village and the currently under development South Creek?

    CL asked about 1 year ago

    The developer of South Creek is required to add at-grade pedestrian crossings at Market Street and Sumac Rd. They will also be constructing a sidepath along the entire portion of their property fronting 15-501.
