Alamance Church Rd BiPed Plan This plan uses the Greensboro Urban Area Bicycle, Pedestrian, Trails, and Greenways (BiPed) Plan, which serves as a comprehensive framework for improving walking and biking conditions across the region, as a starting point for conveying new opportunities for south Greensboro. Originally adopted in 2015 and updated through 2024, the BiPed Plan outlines infrastructure priorities, safety initiatives, and connectivity goals that support active transportation. The plan recommends four types of on street bicycle facilities, various sidewalk improvements, and greenway facilities. Planned Projects Sidewalk projects are planned or underway in many locations throughout the study area. These include: Glendale Drive from Allen Middle School to Randleman Road, Vandalia Road between Pleasant Garden Road and Freeman Mill Road, and along Randleman Road as part of the NCDOT U-5850 widening project between Glendale Road and Elmsley Drive.

Complete Network The map illustrates the current network of pedestrian and bicycle facilities, planned improvements, and key gaps— primarily in sidewalk coverage. Building on this foundation, the plan identifies additional streets for future consideration where sidewalks and on-street bicycle infrastructure could be added. As implementation progresses through various strategies, this evolving network will enhance safety and improve connectivity to parks, schools, neighborhoods, and commercial destinations. In many cases, new development will play a critical role in delivering these improvements by incorporating required infrastructure as part of the development process.
