Pedestrian Plan Steering Committee

Pedestrian Plan Steering Committee

The Buncombe County Pedestrian Plan Steering Committee is a new advisory group that will help shape the vision, goals, and strategies of the plan. The plan will focus on creating a connected network of sidewalks, crosswalks, and safe walking routes that link neighborhoods to schools, job centers, parks, and other essential destinations. Members will review public input and draft recommendations and ensure the plan reflects the voices of Buncombe County residents.

Why It Matters

Walking is one of the most accessible and sustainable forms of transportation. This plan will help ensure that residents in unincorporated areas have safe, convenient, and comfortable options to walk where they need to go.

About the Project

  • Timeline: The planning process began in summer 2025 and will continue through mid-2026.
  • Community Engagement: Public input and feedback opportunities, including surveys and events, will begin in fall 2025.
  • Funding: The project is supported by federal aid through the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT).
