Fuquay Varina Pedestrian Plan - Adopted 8-1-2022

Construct a greenway from Old Honeycutt Rd near Judd Pl Dr to Purfoy Rd, also connecting with the future E. Academy St segment. This will require coordination with future development and also utilizes some town-owned land. A short bike/ped bridge will be needed for a small creek crossing in this section. At the Purfoy Rd crossing, construct either a Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon (RRFB) or Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon (PHB) pedestrian crossing (further engineering analysis needed). When examining this area to identify the exact crossing location, consider a location that can utilize the center turn lane for a median refuge island (consider crossing 100’ south of the Bob Barker/TE Connectivity driveways). Coordination and agreements with adjacent landowners will be needed. Construct a greenway from Purfoy Rd to Ber Creek Dr. This will require an agreement with BBC properties as well as Willow Creek Homeowners Association. A creek/drainage crossing may be needed upon the approach to Ber Creek Dr.

PRIORITY PROJECT #4: DEPOT GREENWAY EXTENSION

Facility: Greenway; Sidewalk Trip Generators: Downtown cores; multiple neighborhoods and businesses; Library; Post Office; Honeycutt Road Park; Willow Spring High School Potential ROW Needs: Multiple ROW needs are identified in notes below Potential Partnerships: Parker Station developer; Charleston Commons HOA; USPS; Wake County; Carillion Assisted Living; Adalyn Pl developer; BBC Properties; TE Connectivity; NCDOT; Willow Creek HOA; Garden Hut Supported in Past Planning: 2035 Community Transportation Plan; 2013 Fuquay-Varina Community Pedestrian Plan Estimated Construction Costs: $5,733,000 Construct a greenway segment from Ber Creek Dr to the Honeycutt Road Park greenway terminus. This will require an agreement with the Garden Hut Center - otherwise, an agreement with the Willow Creek Homeowners Association will be needed and a boardwalk would need to be constructed. Fill the sidewalk gaps along Ber Creek Dr to connect this neighborhood with the greenway segments. Wayfinding signage will be needed. Construct a sidepath along the south side of Old Honeycutt Rd from Judd Pl Dr to the existing sidewalk just west of Ber Creek Dr. With construction of this segment, the Old Honeycutt Rd/Purfoy Rd intersection should include high visibiltity crosswalks with pedestrian signals on all four sides of the intersection.

MAP NOTES

This greenway segment is under construction at the time of this writing as part of the Parker Station development. This greenway will connect to N. Main St and will have sidewalk connections to each of the adjacent streets (including Faucette St, Oak St, Oakdale St, and Smithwood St). Construct a greenway from the southeastern terminus of the Parker Station segment, working with adjacent homeowner association landowners and/ or the USPS to continue the greenway along the former railbed to Judd Pkwy.

At the Judd Pkwy intersection, construct a Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon (PHB) pedestrian crossing. As the road tapers between two lanes and two lanes with a center turn lane, potential opportunity (pending exact crossing location) to create curb extensions. Construct a greenway segment from Judd Pkwy to the E. Academy St/Bramblehill Dr intersection. This section of greenway will need to utilize Wake County property (library), and should include a greenway spur to the library entrance.
