Fletcher Bicycle & Pedestrian Plan
Share Your Thoughts
The Town is creating a Pedestrian and Bicycle Plan, called Fletcher Connects. When complete, this will be a guiding document that provides a path to building trails, sidewalks, crossings, bike lanes and other infrastructure in Fletcher.
Community members that took part in our previous survey and attended our community meeting in February helped the Team identify which projects are important to Fletcher. Based on these activities, there are a total of 14 projects that have risen to the top (shown below); we’d like your opinion on these projects. For each project, you will find a sheet describing the project purpose, estimate of cost, proposed street cross-section, and map. Using this information, please answer a series of questions about each individual project and rank all 14 at the very end of the survey.
We encourage you to dive into the background of the material before starting the survey. Check out https://www.fletchernc.org/ for additional background and content on these 14 projects. If you have questions about when these projects will be built and how they'll be funded, see this document.
If you have any questions or additional thoughts, we will host two live Q&A sessions with our consultant team on Thursday, July 23. We’ll host one at 10:00 AM and another at 6:00 PM. Visit the Town's website for instructions to join these meetings - they will be hosted on the video chat platform called WebEx or you can just call in to join.
And if you can't join us for one of the live Q&A sessions, you are welcome to submit questions to Rachael at rbronson@traffic.pd.com. Thank you for your help!
