Greenways
Kannapolis offers a variety of different greenways for walking and biking. The Department’s goal is ultimately to have a 2-mile loop from Bakers Creek Park, along West A Street, up 8th Street to Loop Road and over to Village Park.
8th Street Greenway
This 10-foot-wide paved trail and pedestrian walkway connects Loop Road to 8th Street, crosses 8th Street and continues to West A Street. Once the Greenway crosses West A Street, it ties into the existing Bakers Creek Park Greenway. The 8th Street Greenway was partially funded through the Department of Transportation’s (NCDOT) transportation enhancement grant under the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21).
Bakers Creek Greenway
The Baker's Creek Greenway runs through Baker's Creek Park and connects the 8th Street Greenway with Baker's Creek Park and then Village Park.
Pedestrian and Bicycle Plan
The Kannapolis Walkable Community Plan was initiated by the City of Kannapolis and made possible through a $24,000 North Carolina Department of Transportation Grant. The goals of the Plan are to create a more livable community through the promotion and development of pedestrian amenities and facilities which are safe, accessible, and connect destinations within the City (and larger region) through alternative transportation and circulation networks.
