About this Plan
Pender County, in collaboration with The Wilmington Metropolitan Planning Organization (WMPO), is conducting a Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan for portions of Pender County that lie within the WMPO urban boundary. This Plan will identify existing challenges to bicycling and walking, propose a preferred bicycle and pedestrian network to strive for, and lay out the specific policy, program, and infrastructure recommendations that Pender County and various stakeholders can use to begin attaining the overall Bicycle and Pedestrian Network.
As the development of recommendations also considers local policies and plans, as well as a significant amount of technical data, the study team and decision-makers are committed to incorporating feedback and asking the community for input before finalizing recommendations.
We Want to Hear from You!
Help us identify bicycle and pedestrian challenges, needs, and opportunities throughout Pender County. A public survey is available now to collect information about:
