The updated plan was <br />completed in the fall and adopted by Cabarrus County in December of <br />2010 and by the Town of Harrisburg in early 2011. As part of that plan, a <br />conceptual Transportation Network Map was created that included <br />alternate transportation routes, such as greenways, bicycle routes and <br />multi -use trails. <br />In spring of 2015, the Town of Harrisburg hired a consulting firm to assess <br />the existing and proposed alternate transportation routes that were <br />contemplated during the HALUP process. The Town asked Cabarrus <br />County staff to participate in the process and to serve on the Steering <br />Committee. Planning and Active Living and Parks staff were both given <br />seats on the Committee. A memo that further outlines the process is <br />attached for your reference. <br />The supplemental alternate transportation plan was adopted by the Town <br />of Harrisburg on June 8, 2015. <br />Staff is requesting that the Board of Commissioners consider adopting the <br />Town of Harrisburg Comprehensive Bicycle, Pedestrian and Greenway <br />Master Plan as a supplement to the Harrisburg Area Land Use Plan that <br />was adopted in 2010. <br />G -3 Page 264 <br />
