Pedestrian and bicycle mobility is at the forefront of creating a livable city. Wilmingtonians have expressed great interest in being able to walk and bike comfortably and safely, including incorporating these modes into daily needs and social activities. This may include going to the park, exercising, shopping, going out for the evening, and commuting to work. A robust network of green connections and open spaces is proposed throughout the city.

Green connections are classified by existing and proposed facilities in the New Hanover County Greenway Plan. Beyond these facilities, additional conceptual connections are also suggested in the plan. There are generally three types of solutions suggested to achieve a well-connected system.

See the Comprehensive Plan for more details.
