There is mention in previous documents of a greenway connecting Ballentine to downtown. I think that would be a wonderful addition. Crossing Main Street continues to be dangerous. Let me start by saying jaywalking is not the entire problem. I live downtown and have to force myself into traffic that isn’t slowing down at crosswalks regularly. Maybe crosswalk signs with flashing lights would help. If you want to create a lively downtown you need to make the car traffic respect the foot traffic. Write tickets to both the drivers and the jaywalkers. Develop the mutual respect at the crosswalk. The corner of Fuquay Ave and Academy has a 5” ledge from the road to the sidewalk where the blacktop was laid and not tapered. It is not ADA COMPLIANT and is impossible to negoti- ate in a wheelchair or using a stroller. Actually all road accesses are pretty lousy along Fuquay Ave except for the art center crossing at Vance St.

Walking
Many do Smith Farms residents make their own path from our subdivision to Products Road. It’s very sad to see families with small children riding bikes or strollers trying to safely con - nect to the stores and restaurants at the Fuquay Crossing Shopping Center. Desperately need side walks here on bowling rd and cross walk to 401 to access South Park ball field. Wagstaff road needs sidewalk to access parks. Road is narrow and people walk in the street all the time. Very unsafe. This area (Wagstaff at South Main/401) needs pedestrian access for safety, and an improved intersection.

Sidewalk from Ballentine to products rd would make walking around the area safer.

Route that works well
This is how I go to the dog park. Believe it or not, it’s easier to cross SW Judd Pkwy than W. Academy St.

Agree with other suggestions that a sidewalk should be created to connect the Ballentine neighborhood to the Sunset Lake Commons area. This section currently requires one to walk along Sunset Lake Rd in the dirt/grass/mud and is unsafe for both pedestrians and drivers as the volume of traffic along Sunset Lake Rd continues to increase.

Can we please add sidewalks to Phelps Farm West Road? Thank you!

Are there any plans to convert this unused railway into a paved greenway trail that leads to downtown Fuquay? It would be an AMAZING asset for the town!!! There are very few sidewalks along Stewart St. I’d love to be able to walk to downtown from my home. This short stretch of Coley Farm is unsafe for walking (and biking). It would only require a short distance of sidewalk to increase safety and allow residents of Grays Creek and Union Station to access Flemming Loop, Lincoln Heights, and downtown safely on foot.

Create Greenways that connect these parks across town.

We need a sidewalk on Angier Road starting at Senterview Drive to the Fire Station. Very dan- gerous walking the short distance to downtown from our neighborhood. Bushes and trees need trimming on Judd Parkway sidewalk across from community center. Sometimes I have to walk in the bike lane to avoid low hanging or overhanging branches. Rather than trying to improve the walkability of the confluence of the railroad and main street, you could add a walking bridge over the tracks at the end of W. Jones St. Lots of peo- ple walk up W. Jones and then have to cross at the dangerous intersection by the railroad. Railroad St also has a lot of pedestrians. Cars speed down this stretch and also toss out a lot of garbage. The town mowers chew up the trash and create sharp pieces of beer cans and tons of tiny pieces of litter. This could be a nice shady walking path with a sidewalk and guard rail. And can we work on regular litter pick up on this side of town please?! Where there are new expensive homes going up litter is cleaned up. How about the same service for the west side of FV?! Thanks Connect Bent Tree sidewalk to existing sidewalk for safer commute from our neighborhood to Fleming Loop Park. Visitors to the dog park need a more direct route from parking walking into the dog park that keeps them(and their pets) out of flowing traffic. There are portions of Judd parkway between Main Street and Broad that don’t yet have side - walk which make walking or running the whole Judd loop not possible because of the narrow shoulder and blind curves Would be nice to be able to walk to downtown Varina from the Retreat apartment complex, and would be nice to walk from the neighborhood to the Bengal Townes shops. walking/bike access along Old Powell Rd from Briar Gate neighborhood to connect to exisit- ing sidewalks by Southern Wake. Once new mixed use development is built at Broad St/Old Powell it would be nice to have safe bike access. Sidewalk or Sidepath would be beneficial. Pedestrians currently attempt to walk on Wilbon and it’s very dangerous as is.

It would be nice to connect the dog park to Fleming Loop and there seems to be space for a trail. I think it’s very important to add safe side walks from McLean to the intersection of 401 and Wilbon Rd. West Fuquay and on both sides of Wilbon to 401. The food dessert in west Fuquay-Varina means many people without vehicles have to walk to Food Lion regularly Lots of people from Smith Farms neighborhood walk along the side of Sunset Lake road to get to shopping or connect to other town sidewalks. A sidewalk here would improve the safety of this route.

Could you add sidewalks on Angier rd connecting downtown Fuquay all the way to Judd parkway. Many residents would benefit from this. Would love to be able to walk to my favorite coffee shop!
