Brookhollow Road, Richmond Road, Forrest Drive: Arterials which serve different parts of the community. .Forrest Drive is in many ways "Main Street" for Efland. other local grid streets in the Efland core. other types of transportation, on a less-intensive scale, include bicycle and pedestrian methods. Bicycle transportation has gained widespread acceptance as an environmentally-sensitive alternative - especially in more urban or compact communities where vehicular movement can become constricted. Although there are currently no bikeways in Efland, corridors along existing routes could be created to accommodate and encourage this mode of transportation. Similarly, the use of pedestrian-level transportation is often overlooked. Although feasible for short distances only, the potential for encouraging pedestrian transportation has also increased dramatically in communities wishing to protect their community character and encourage a "small-town" feel, with housing, employment and services all located in proximity to one another where pedestrian-scale options can be utilized. 14
