Enfield Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan
Enfield Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan
NCDOT has awarded a grant to the Town of Enfield to develop a Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan. The goals of this plan are to develop a list of bicycle and pedestrian projects that help get people moving, make walking and biking safer, and bring jobs to Enfield.
Once complete, NCDOT will include the results in development of the Bicycle and Pedestrian elements of the County's Comprehensive Transportation Plan (CTP). Comprehensive Transportation Plans are the long range vision plan for transportation networks for Municipalities and Counties throughout the State.
To be successful the plan needs your support. We would like to know what projects you think should be undertaken.
