A survey to find out what can be done to make walking and biking in Franklin easier and safer is now online. 

The town is currently developing a bicycle and pedestrian plan to guide future investments in facilities, which could include everything from expanded sidewalks to bike lanes to signs. A grant from the N.C. Department of Transportation is supporting the initiative, with matching contributions from the town. 

Information and a link to the survey are available at www.bikewalkfranklin.wordpress.com.

At our inception 20 years ago, we chose to be different. Unlike other news organizations, we made the decision to provide in-depth, regional reporting free to anyone who wanted access to it. We don’t plan to change that model. Support from our readers will help us maintain and strengthen the editorial independence that is crucial to our mission to help make Western North Carolina a better place to call home. If you are able, please support The Smoky Mountain News.
