PRIORITY PROJECT #5: FUQUAY-VARINA MIDDLE SCHOOL CONNECTIVITY
Complete the gaps in the sidepath along Wagstaff Rd in connecting to Carroll Howard Johnson Park and the Jeff Wells Trail. Construct a sidepath north to South Park. Consider making the connection through the Fuquay-Varina Homes for the Elderly property due to limited space between the Fresenius Medical Care building and S. Main St. This existing 300’ section of sidewalk in front of the Southgate Apartments is approximately 30+ years old and needs accessible curb ramps. This section should be replaced with a 10’ sidepath. Construct an additional high visibility midblock crosswalk to the northeastern most trail entrance in Carroll Howard Johnson Park.
Facility: Greenway; Sidepath Trip Generators: Fuquay-Varina Middle School (construction in 2024); South Park; Carroll Howard Johnson Park; Jeff Wells Trail; multiple neighborhoods Potential ROW Needs: For potential greenway section connecting through the Fuquay-Varina Homes for the Elderly property Potential Partnerships: Fuquay-Varina Homes for the Elderly; NCDOT; adjacent landowners; South & Main Subdivision and Theys Mill developers; Wake County Public School System Supported in Past Planning: 2035 Community Transportation Plan; 2013 Fuquay- Varina Community Pedestrian Plan Estimated Construction Costs: $3,210,000

MAP NOTES

As part of the new Fuquay-Varina Middle School site, sidewalks are planned that will connect the South & Main Subdivision development and London Meadow Way to the south. A short greenway link should also be constructed to make a connection to the Wagstaff Rd/S. Main St intersection. The eastern edge of the school site lies adjacent to Kenneth Creek - a creek side trail could serve as a connector greenway between S. Willhaven Dr and Anderson Wood Dr, and could also serve as the beginning of a future greenway connection up the creek to the north and to the east. The Andersonwood Dr connection is of particular importance - combined with the subdivision development happening to the east and southeast, this link provides a connection to Purfoy Rd and the future Hidden Valley Greenway.

Connect the school site greenway to the Wagstaff Rd/South Main St intersection and construct a pedestrian crossing (likely as part of a future traffic light here). This is where the school connection to Carroll Howard Johnson Park & South Park split. This section of proposed sidepath along the north side of Wagstaff Rd will be constructed as part of the future Redeemer Community Church site development. This sidewalk connection is part of the South & Main Subdivision development, connecting the school to this new neighborhood development.
