Oct. 2, 2026 - The project team is awaiting approval for construction plans from the North Carolina Department of Transportation. The project is expected to enter the bid phase by the end of 2026. During the bid phase, the city uses a competitive bidding process to procure the services of a contractor to build the project. By state law, the contract is awarded to the lowest responsible bidder.
This project will create a 3,300-foot-long cycle track along Conference Drive between City View Drive and Monroe Road. It will cross over Independence Boulevard and Peacekeepers Way and will connect to the existing curb ramp updates at Monroe Road and Conference Drive. The ramp replacements tie into the Monroe Road Streetscape project.
The project team has planned two public engagements to assist in building shared ownership of the cycle track among those who live, work and travel along the corridor and to give residents an opportunity to share their ideas on additional areas where the bike network can improve and/or expand. The following events have taken place:
