The updated plan was completed in the fall and adopted by Cabarrus County in December of 2010 and by the Town of Harrisburg in early 2011. As part of that plan, a conceptual Transportation Network Map was created that included alternate transportation routes, such as greenways, bicycle routes and multi -use trails. In spring of 2015, the Town of Harrisburg hired a consulting firm to assess the existing and proposed alternate transportation routes that were contemplated during the HALUP process. The Town asked Cabarrus County staff to participate in the process and to serve on the Steering Committee. Planning and Active Living and Parks staff were both given seats on the Committee. A memo that further outlines the process is attached for your reference. The supplemental alternate transportation plan was adopted by the Town of Harrisburg on June 8, 2015.
