Map 5: Opportunities and Challenges (Zoom)

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 field notes. 21 Wake Chapel Rd has sidewalks on one side, but not a great pedestrian experience due to lack of buffer and traffic speed/volumes. 22 Need better connectivity to High School. 23 Funded sidewalk (likely 2 years until construction) - LAPP funded. 24 Sidewalk project to connect to this intersection is in development, will likely be constructed in near term. 25 E. Jones St sidewalks (Town Hall to Middle School) are in the development process (funding awarded through LAPP). 26 Location of new elementary and middle school - connectivity needed to adjacent neighborhoods. 27 Potential greenway opportunity along Kenneth Creek. 28 Railroad corridor that is currently inactive - would be great connection from center of FV to southwest side of FV if possible. 29 Development in this area will include a greenway segment along the former railroad corridor. 30 Need ADA pedestrian accommodation across railroad tracks. 31 Intersection needs improvement - difficult intersection to improve due to confluence of railroad tracks and multiple roads - has been previously studied, multiple options under consideration including grade separation. 32 Gaps in the pedestrian network here along Judd Pkwy and Stewart St - possible future development in this area as well. 33 Roadway crossing of railroad tracks recently closed. 34 Roadway crossing of railroad tracks recently closed. 35 Academy Street will connect here - future development (new library here as well). 36 Crosswalk at Wake Chapel Rd & Pittsboro St needs better visibility. 37 Recently completed artistic sidewalks at the Vance St/Fuquay Ave intersection. 38 Existing unpaved neighborhood trail. 39 Pedestrian crossing needed to connect the Village of Charleston neighborhood to South Park. 40 Gap in sidewalk network - connect Bent Tree subdivision to Fleming Loop Recreational Park. 41 Gap in network, connectivity needed to neighborhoods along Wilbon Rd. 42 Gap in network, connectivity needed to downtown sidewalk grid and adjacent neighborhoods. 43 Gap in network, connectivity needed along both Spring St and Angier Rd between downtown and adjacent neighborhoods. 44 Gap in network southeast of downtown. 45 Gap in network, connectivity needed along Angier Rd to connect multiple neighborhoods. 46 Gap in network along Old Honeycutt Rd, would connect multiple neighborhoods and enhance connectivity to Honeycutt Road Park. 47 Gaps in network along Old Honeycutt Rd toward downtown. 48 Gap in network along Sunset Lake Rd - connect Ballentine subdivision to Harris Teeter. 49 The Terrible Creek corridor is mostly undeveloped, and remains a good greenway opportunity to northeast Fuquay-Varina (is included in local, county, and regional greenway plans). 50 Crosswalk needed to connect neighborhoods across Judd Pkwy. 51 Pedestrian facilities needed extended down Wagstaff Rd and S. Main St to connect multiple subdivisions. 52 Fill gaps to connect western subdivisions toward downtown.
