Alamance Church Rd transportation modes. Vandalia Road is noted for its potential for roadway re-envisioning and reconfiguration. Sidewalk Gaps and Planned Sidewalk Projects Over a dozen key locations have been identified where filling sidewalk gaps would have a significant impact. Planned sidewalk projects are located along Vandalia Road, Randleman Road, and Glendale Drive. Major Roadway Projects Three major projects are highlighted: Vandalia Road, the I-40 corridor and interchange project, and Randleman Road. These projects aim to improve access and safety for all

New Network Areas Through Development As new development occurs, there is an opportunity to integrate pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure and connect with existing facilities. These new network areas can serve as vital links between existing streets, trails, and transit stops. continually updated as new plans are adopted. This resource may be viewed as an interactive map here. Special Type of Connections Several types of special connections are being considered to enhance multimodal access. These include greenway crossings where features like bike boxes, skip lines, and curb ramps may be added, especially at signalized intersections. Stream crossings are also evaluated for potential bike-pedestrian bridges. Additionally, greenway and bikeway facilities are planned to link the study area with destinations to the north and south. Opportunities exist to connect greenways to nearby neighborhoods using remnant rights-of-way, public lands, or easements. Thoroughfare and Collector Street Plan The Greensboro Urban Area MPO maintains a Thoroughfare and Collector Street Plan to track desired roadway connections in the region. This resource is

Potential improvements include upgrading existing signals and adding new signalized or stop-controlled intersections with pedestrian crossings. Lateral crosswalks— painted between stop bars and travel lanes—and mid-block crossings can enhance visibility, safety, and access. Redesigning major intersections with speed reduction treatments, such as leading pedestrian intervals, longer crossing times, protected left-turn phases, pedestrian refuge islands,
