Master Plans
You can also find pages devoted to our two Master Plans; one for the parks system and the other for the trails system. The Master Plan documents were developed with extensive public input and provide guidance in the Parks and Recreation department’s efforts to meet growing need and public demand for improvements for recreational, environmental, and pedestrian/bicycle transportation.
Bicycle and Pedestrian Trail Count Data
The Town of Chapel Hill records bicycle and pedestrian information through a series of electronic counters located on greenways and bike lanes around town. Trail Count Data collected is used to create smarter transportation infrastructure plans and projects around the community.
