  • Greenway & Trails
    CHAPTER 6: GREENWAY & TRAILS A. Overview The Town of Cary envisions its greenway network as an emerald necklace that ties together the community’s parks, neighborhoods, schools, cultural sites, and business districts. In the nine years since the approval of the previous 2003 Parks, Recreation and Cultural Resources Facilities Master Plan, the Town has begun to achieve that vision of connectivity. The current greenway network has now grown to over 62 miles of trails. Where the Town’s greenway program once consisted of a series of isolated segments, it is transforming into a system of trails. The 2003 Master Plan also articulated the importance of environmental stewardship in the development of the trail network. Cary has applied sustainable design practice throughout all of its trail projects to maintain open space, wildlife corridors and habitat, use of native vegetation, and effective erosion control measures. Many of these practices have been incorporated into the Town’s greenway design standards and will be implemented in future designs. With regard to design standards, this plan re- articulates Cary’s commitment to the application of American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) and Americans with Disability Act (ADA) design standards. Although the Town has shown a commitment to greenway construction that rivals any other community in North Carolina, the citizens of Cary continue to demand greater connectivity and linkage to other communities, as well as to other regionally important trail systems. This is due in large part to Cary being the central jurisdiction within the Triangle Area. As such, the Town of Cary plays a crucial role in connecting regional, statewide, and national trails.

(7 5k u q it \*\Ml DEDICATION To the Nation's Finest the Service Men of the First Presbyterian Church both sons and visitors, this volume is affectionately dedicated. Getting into it. Everything has a beginning and it is an old custom to have an introduction: While to those familiar with the war work of the First Presby- terian Church this book needs no introduction, there are others to whom its title will have little or no meaning, so for their benefit a brief explanation is in order. There were a number of friends who beguiled me in to writing this story. Their arguments were that while I was con- stantly on the scene of action I could give them an eye witness account of the work done by the First Presbyterian Church for Service men in those epochal years 19^1-19^5° For the past year as I have worked long but pleasant hours on this Manuscript I have forgiven them, but I have also realiz- ed that writing is a profession and it is not mine, however in- stead of attempting to acquire a literary style I have tried to tell in an informal way of our efforts for the Service men.

  • Chapter 3: Community Profile
    CHAPTER 3 Community Profile Community Profile Spanning almost 300 square miles, the city and county of Durham are located in the heart of the North Carolina Piedmont Region. Historically known as the “tobacco capital of the world” and the home to Black Wall Street, Durham is known nationwide as a vibrant, diverse and entrepreneurial community. There is a rich agricultural heritage, a diverse population, beautiful land, numerous parks, excellent public services and a strong faith and social justice community. There are many medical resources, non-profits and opportunities available to community members. The demographics of Durham County residents have shifted dramatically over the last decade. Although Durham County is rich in resources, disparities do exist between racial/ethnic groups as well as between lower income and higher income residents. This chapter includes: Demographics Immigrant and refugee populations Racial and ethnic disparities Durham facts and history Land Use Built environment (eg. sidewalks, bike lanes and greenways) Parks and recreation Faith and spirituality 2011 Durham County Community Health Assessment Page | 41 CHAPTER 3 Community Profile Section 3.01 Demographics U.S. Census Bureau 2010 data highlight important demographic and cultural shifts in Durham during the past decade. Since 2000, Durham County’s population has grown over 22% to 267,587, which is slightly higher than the statewide increase of 18.5%.1 Durham is the 6th largest county in North Carolina and approximately 85% of all Durham County residents live within the city limits of Durham. The City of Durham’s population of 228,330 positions Durham as the 5th largest city in the state.2 Durham continues to grow as a racially and ethnically diverse community.

  • ABSTRACT ZECK, ADRIAN MICHAEL. Examining Users' Preferences
    ABSTRACT ZECK, ADRIAN MICHAEL. Examining Users’ Preferences, Perceptions, and Attitudes on a Multi-Jurisdictional Rail-Trail. (Under the direction of Dr. Roger L. Moore.) Instances of trails managed by multiple governmental agencies (i.e., multi-jurisdictional trails) are becoming increasingly common. However, researchers have focused little attention on the users and use of these important recreation resources. The purpose of this study was to examine the use of a multi-jurisdictional trail near a growing metropolitan area by profiling the users and trail use, examining their choices, attitudes, and perceived benefits along the trail. The particular focus was determining the importance of various factors in users’ choices of which trail section(s) they use and determining users’ awareness of and attitudes toward the multi-jurisdictional nature of the study trail. A purposive sample of visitors to the multi-jurisdictional American Tobacco Trail near Durham, NC participated in an on-site and then a follow-up questionnaire to provide the study data. Study results revealed that multi-jurisdictional awareness and preferences differ somewhat by activity type. Specifically, runners have more concern than bicyclists and walkers for trail-wide consistency in terms of bathroom facilities and availability of drinking water. However, runners have less concern than bicyclists for consistency in terms of parking facilities and on- site information about the trail. These results should help inform the planning and management of such trail settings and, thereby, help increase the benefits they can provide. © Copyright 2012 by Adrian Michael Zeck All Rights Reserved Examining Users’ Preferences, Perceptions, and Attitudes on a Multi-Jurisdictional Rail- Trail.
