PURPOSE
PLANNING PROCESS
LET’S IMPROVE WALKING AND BIKING OPPORTUNITIES THROUGHOUT THE TOWN OF DANBURY!
THE PROJECT TEAM WILL LEAD A FOUR-PART PLANNING PROCESS THAT WILL CONCLUDE IN JUNE 2017:
The Connect Danbury Master Plan will outline priorities for improving walking and biking opportunities throughout the Town. Sidewalks and greenway trails are important amenities for locals, visitors, and businesses! The Town of Danbury has many unique assets that should be connected with paths in coming years. The plan will explore improvements to the downtown sidewalk network and its connectivity with the Mountains-toSea Trail, Hanging Rock State Park, Stokes County Government Center and library, Moratock Park, and more. After preliminary routes are identified, a public workshop will provide an opportunity for citizens to provide insights for additional connectivity opportunities and priority projects.
