The Fayetteville Area Metropolitan Planning Organization is seeking public input through a survey to determine the priority of road projects in Fayetteville’s urban area. The survey responses will play a crucial role in shaping the future of the Metropolitan Transportation Plan.
The MTP, also known as the Sandhills Safe & Connected plan, is updated every four to five years and includes data gathering, future growth projections, assessment of auto, truck, rails, air, pedestrian and bicycle transportation, and the development of short- and long-term transportation projects, according to a recent news release from FAMPO. This plan is meant to meet the transportation needs of the region over the next 20-plus years.
In the survey, residents are asked to select five roadway improvement projects they would like to see prioritized out of a list of 23 projects, which includes the NC 210 Murchison Road widening project.
The survey also requires residents to select five bicycling and walking shared-use path projects from a list of 16. Additionally, residents are asked to choose five pedestrian improvement projects from a list of 18. They’re also asked to select three bicycle lane projects from a list of seven and three public transportation projects from a list of nine.
