Cary Designated As a National Silver Level Walk-Friendly Community

WFC_silver Walk Friendly Communities (WFC) re-designated Cary as a National Walk-Friendly Community at a new Silver Level status (previously bronze) on April 25, 2017. The Walk-Friendly designation is based on community efforts to expand opportunities for walking and improve pedestrian safety across a wide range of programs and activities, from planning and design to outreach and law enforcement. Highlights from Cary's renewal include its robust trail system, bike and hike mobile application, way finding signage, connectivity policy, the newly adopted Cary Community Plan, Watch for Me NC program partnership and the sidewalk request program.

Each year the Town Council establishes a priority list of locations for annual sidewalk projects that have been requested by citizens and the Police Department. The annual sidewalk priority list considers a number of factors including safety, use, need and feasibility. Click to view the Town of Cary Sidewalk Project List. You may also view the Town's Comprehensive Pedestrian Plan.

Requests for sidewalks must be accompanied by a petition signed by at least 70 percent of homeowners within the "area of influence" as noted in the Sidewalk Requests (Town's Policy Statement No.135). The Planning Department will provide a map and addresses for the area of influence.

To report a damaged sidewalk, please submit a service request or call 919-469-4090.
