Needs improvement

E. Jones St sidewalks (Town Hall to Middle School) are in the development process (funding awarded through LAPP) Intersection needs improvement - difficult intersection to improve due to confluence of rail - road tracks and multiple roads - has been previously studied, considering tunnel project Railroad corridor that is currently inactive - would be great connection from center of FV to southwest side of FV if possible Wake Chapel Rd has sidewalks on one side, but not a great pedestrian experience due to lack of buffer and traffic speed/volumes

Walking

Coming out of the Village of Charleston across from the Kidney Center and South Park needs sidewalk and crosswalk to be able to enjoy the park/community center. Speeding cars will kill someone one of these days. Trees blocking the visibility of traffic are also an issue. Soon South and Main will add to the congestion.

Complete the sidewalks along SE Judd Pkway please.

Walking

Spring street is a corridor to downtown and also part of FV historic district. It is a busy street for traffic from Main st to Angier Road as well as for walkers. PreCovid, during events down - town, Spring St. is close enough for parking and becomes even dangerous. It is also used as a detour street for parades and other times when Main St is closed. Please consider Extending the sidewalks to East Spring as well. Thank you No sidewalks at all on this very busy wide part of Angler Road. Consider sidewalks and widen- ing the road past Spring to Judd Parkway.

Extend sidewalks south of south park

Walking

There are no sidewalks in this entire neighborhood (S. Fuquay / Pine St / Arnold / Senter / Dickens.) yet there are numerous pedestrians out every day having to walk in traffic. There is an entire section here that has no sidewalks, yet there are daily walkers throughout the area walking in the street. Jeff Wells Trail is lovely, and there’s nice little sidewalk to Caroll Howard Johnson Park, but then there’s nothing. Walking from Main Street to the park is treacherous due to curvy road and very little shoulder. Angie Road after you cross E Spring St is dangerous. It’s not uncommon to see walkers, including kids walking from the middle school. Sidewalks along Sunset Lake RD between Ballentine Subdivision and the Harris Teeter shop- ping Center (Sunset and Broad) would be very useful! Connect the sidewalk from Bent Tree subdivision to Fleming Loop Park. There is a small section which, if completed, would increase safety for strollers, children on bikes, pedestri- ans, etc. There is a curve in the road making it dangerous to see oncoming traffic for those accessing the park from Bent Tree, Fleming Fields and residences on Fleming Loop Road.
