Catawba 2nd Survey

 

Welcome to the second public survey on the Carolina Thread Trail route within Catawba County. There have been a series of public meetings and outreach efforts to solicit input for the development of a county wide trail plan. This survey has been created based on your input to date. At each public meeting participants were asked to draw their recommended routes on county maps and to rank the most important destinations within the county. The maps and destinations that you will be asked to comment on today are the results of public input, existing plans and the guidance of the Steering Committee, which is composed of county and municipal staff and Catawba County Citizens.

The map below represents the draft routes being analyzed for the final plan. Trails displayed in pink are those recommended for the Carolina Thread Trail designation and trails in green are presented for consideration to further tie together the people and destinations of Catawba County communities. The trail corridors in this plan are depicted with ¼ mile wide lines to show the general location of the intended route. The trail itself will be narrower, in recognition that communities will determine the exact location of their segments upon trail design and development. The broadly defined greenway corridors present multiple opportunities and adjustments for a defined route, so that landowners can continue to be involved in fine tuning and defining the location of trails and amenities. The draft routes have been grouped into six corridors, including:

1) Three Forks Corridor
2) Hickory Connectors
3) Lyle Creek Corridor
4) Central County Corridor
5) Catawba Connectors
6) Murrays Mill / Sherrills Ford Corridor

Please take a moment to review the proposed trail segments on the map below. When you are ready to start the survey click "next" at the bottom of the page. We greatly appreciate your time and participation in this process!
