7 b) Ped/Bike issues and strategies (Hillsborough connectivity plan**; sidewalks across jurisdictions*; bikeshare program; Mountains to Sea Trail connections*) The town's connectivity plan addresses bicycle, pedestrian, and transit improvements in town, along with other amenities in the public right of way. The document is a component of our comprehensive plan and is regularly updated. The bulk of this year's updates reflect the recent investments by the towns and others to improve walkability and connectivity in town. The recommended improvements focus on high traffic areas where safety is a concern for mixed modal travel. The town's development code refers to this plan in requiring developers to construct sidewalks. The updated plan is approximately 100 pages long. The document begins on page 34 of this linked plan set (the first 33 pages are pans for Collins Ridge) https://www.hillsboroughnc.gov/media/plans/planning-board-plans-1-19-2017.pdf The Boards can discuss issues related to these items as necessary, and staff will be available at the meeting.
