Durham Residents Can Help Shape Pedestrian, Biking Future

Durham is calling on residents to share their ideas for improving biking, walking, and rolling in the city as part of an update to the 2025 Durham Bike+Walk Plan. This initiative will serve as a roadmap for enhancing sidewalks, bike lanes, greenways, and other infrastructure.

Participants in the survey could win a $50 gift card.

• Complete the Online Survey
  Share your feedback and enter a drawing for a $50 gift card. The survey closes at 5 p.m. on Jan. 17, 2025.
