City and county seeking input on future of trails in the area | Environment

WILMINGTON, NC (WECT) – Wilmington and New Hanover County will present a draft of its greenway plan from 4 until 7 in Wilmington City Council chambers Tuesday night. The city and county want input from the public on the proposed greenway plan.

The plan will allow local governments to create a comprehensive network of sidewalks, walking trails and bike lane connections. It is being developed by the Wilmington Metropolitan Planning Organization with the city and county.

The agencies started the planning phase in January. The current draft was created after getting more than 3,600 public comments.

There will be two more meetings in different parts of the county for public input on the draft. One meeting will be Wednesday at Carolina Beach Town Hall/ Recreation Center and the other will be Thursday at Ogden Elementary. Both will go from 4 until 7 p.m.
