Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plans

There are currently 7.6 linear miles of greenway trails constructed in the Village. In 2015, the Village adopted a Pedestrian Master Plan which calls for future expansion of greenway trails and sidewalks throughout the Village to promote connectivity and active living. Please note, the greenway trails are for pedestrian and bicycling access only. Motorized vehicles, such as golf carts, are not allowed on the trails. Violators are subject to fines and penalties as set forth in the Village of Pinehurst Municipal Code.

The Village also adopted a Bicycle Master Plan in which emphasis was placed on bike lanes, side paths and other measures to improve safety for cyclists. The plan was funded in part by a NCDOT Planning Grant which was received in 2013. The Village has a Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC) that meets quarterly to discuss future projects. The public is invited to attend. The meeting schedule can be found here.
