Public Meetings on Draft Plan for A & Y Greenway

A draft plan has been developed for the Atlantic and Yadkin Greenway through a feasibility study of the corridor. The draft plan is the joint efforts of the Town of Summerfield, the Town of Stokesdale, Guilford County and the Greensboro urban area  MPO. The proposed trail follows the historic A & Y railroad route from southern Summerfield to Stokesdale. The trail will eventually be incorporated into the North Carolina Mountains-to-Sea Trail that stretches nearly 1000 miles from Clingmans Dome in the Great Smoky Mountains to Jockey’s Ridge on the Outer Banks. Once constructed, the A&Y greenway will celebrate the natural heritage of the area, connect important destinations, and provide trail surfaces for a variety of recreational opportunities. This multi-use trail is anticipated to be used by walkers, joggers, bicyclists, horseback riders, and rollerbladers as they enjoy the diverse rural, suburban and urban landscapes in this beautiful area. Two public meetings are scheduled to allow members of the public to provide comments on the plan: October 20th, 4-7pm at the Summerfield Athletic Park Field House -- 5200 US 220 Highway North  AND October 27th, 4-7pm at the Stokesdale Town Hall -- 8325 Angel Pardue Hall.
