Burnsville is one of thirteen municipalities from across the state that will receive assistance with bicycle and pedestrian planning, thanks to grants awarded this fall by the N.C. Department of Transportation.
The NCDOT Bicycle and Pedestrian Planning Grant program helps North Carolina communities develop a comprehensive strategy for expanding bicycle and pedestrian facilities, and improving the safety of the transportation network for all users.
The planning grant initiative is jointly sponsored by the NCDOT Integrated Mobility Division and the Transportation Planning Division.
Plans funded are not for one specific project, but represent a comprehensive strategy for expanding bicycle and pedestrian opportunities within a given municipality.
For more information on the Bicycle and Pedestrian Planning Grant Initiative, contact the Integrated Mobility Division or visit the Planning Grant Initiative’s webpage.
