New Haw Creek Road Sidewalk
New Haw Creek Road Sidewalk
This City is constructing approximately 1 mile of new six-foot-wide sidewalk, including accessible ramps, crosswalks and drainage, along New Haw Creek Road from Beverly Road to Bell Road. Starting at Beverly Road, the sidewalk follows along the west side of New Haw Creek Road. Just north of Dogwood Grove the alignment shifts to the east side, utilizing a mid-block signalized crosswalk with accessible ramps and curb cuts for safe access across New Haw Creek Road. Additional crosswalks and ramps are also proposed throughout the project.
Happening Now
Construction on this project began in early 2025 and is estimated to be complete in late 2026.
Background
The New Haw Creek Road sidewalk is one of several transportation projects prioritized by City residents during public outreach for the 2016 bond referendum. This project enhances the City’s sidewalk network by constructing a new sidewalk on New Haw Creek Road from Beverly Road to Bell Road, a total length of approximately 1 mile. The purpose of this project is to improve mobility, safety, and continuity for pedestrians on City streets and provide pedestrian connections to local schools and parks. Notable user bases in this area include Haw Creek Elementary School and Evergreen Community Charter School, users of Charlie Bullman Park, as well as the neighborhood’s homes and stores.
