These notes on opportunities and challenges (many of which are both opportunities and challenges) are a com- bination of steering committee feedback, public feedback (survey and online map), and consultant notes. 1 NC 751 extension - longer-term future roadway project - connect to southern terminus of the American Tobacco Trail to the northwest, and Raven Rock State Park to the south. 2 Future shared use path extension toward new development/Broad St/NC 55. 3 Intersection improvement needed - tricky to get across, many people try (many goat paths); NC 55 will be realigned here (NCDOT project U-5751). 4 Future large retail development - will include new 4-6 lane road connection between US 401 and NC 42 - street will include a sidepath and an at-grade crossing of the railroad. 5 Existing Greenway at Hilltop Needmore Town Park & Preserve - connectivity needed to adjacent neighborhoods and future school. 6 Under construction residential development that will include a greenway. 7 Future development in this area along Neills Creek - will include a greenway trail. 8 Park Depot Trail to the Fuquay-Varina Town Hall was highlighted as a gap project in the Wake County Greenway System Plan. 9 Recently completed sidepath segment along Angier Rd as part of ongoing development. 10 Recently completed sidepath along Purfoy Rd as part of ongoing development. 11 Good greenway and sidewalk connectivity to Willow Spring High School. 12 Key connection opportunity between Holly Springs and Fuquay-Varina (Bass Lake and the Basal Creek Trail). 13 Sidepaths in development along Hilltop Needmore Rd. 14 Gap in network, connectivity needed along Phelps West Rd to connect multiple neighborhoods. 15 Gap in network, connectivity needed along Old Honeycutt Rd toward elementary school and high school. 16 Gap in network along NC 55, link needed to enhance Park Depot Trail connectivity. 17 Connectivity needed up Sunset Lake Rd. 18 Multiple gaps in network connectivity up Stewart St - neighborhood connectivity needed. 19 Sidewalks/sidepaths needed along Needmore Ruritan Club, Hilltop Needmore Rd, and Sunset Lake Rd to connect neighborhoods, end eventually, another way to connect Holly Springs and Fuquay-Varina. 20 Pedestrian facilities lacking in southwest Fuquay-Varina, connectivity needed.
