Hosting events and pop-ups along the greenway

Promoting how the greenway can help get to places that are difficult to get to (e.g. downtown Raleigh, Carter Finley, etc)

Tabling/ Campus event!

I know on campus in the past we have had events based on biking on campus, especially at the beginning of the semester, where they give resources on obtaining a bike license, bike events, etc. It would be great if a tabling event for greenway awareness with maps, merch, events, etc is shown, either individually or incorporated into the bigger events.

Adding more NC State community events on the greenway, such as community bike rides or pop-up events, would increase visibility for NC State students.

Improving connectivity between campus and locations such as downtown. Allowing the greenways to be used practically for commuting would increase relevance to many students.

Making Greenways Relevant

2026-03-24 18:23:27 UTC

Signs/maps at the trial heads and along the greenways that point out areas of interest and how they connect.

more bike routes

2026-03-24 18:23:58 UTC

More routes to places that NCSU students would use. like vet school or Carter Finley

Information

2026-03-24 18:24:28 UTC

Having students participate in an on path experience, like having more signage along the parts to provide history about the Raleigh greenways, also facts about Carolina since we are in the capital of NC. The lastly some interesting things about nature, such as plants, shrubs, trees, etc. that are among the path.

Connecting the two campuses directly, as well as the stadiums.

Interconnects

2026-03-24 18:25:33 UTC

The greenway is nice, but it would be great if the greenway had more interconnections. Having to go all the way around Raleigh is not great.

2026-03-24 18:25:36 UTC

A true connection over Wester Blvd, to easily get to centennial campus. Additionally more connections to downtown.

More Bike Routes

2026-03-24 18:25:53 UTC

Smaller branches of trail that connect out. More trails that go downtown or further out.

Overall increasing exposure to the greenway

2026-03-24 18:25:57 UTC

Putting stuff to do like events or cargo shipping crate shops up on the greenway

2026-03-24 18:26:33 UTC

Increasing entry and exit points to greenways so more people utilize it and are familiar with these type of paths.

With first-year students not allowed to have cars on campus, the school should be educating incoming students about how having a bike can make it easier to navigate campus and to explore the city surrounding campus.

Campus Tours

2026-03-24 18:26:55 UTC

Mention how students can the greenway for travel and/or recreation on campus tours.

2026-03-24 18:28:46 UTC

Adding more greenways connecting residential areas and places that are very frequented, such as grocery stores and University campuses.
Having little branches of the greenway connect to main roads so more people can see them around.
Making visible signs from main roads to advertise the presence of Greenways and different destinations with miles/times to them

2026-03-24 18:30:38 UTC

Having more routes/connections (for example, having a direct route from main campus to centennial campus) would improve greenway relevance among NCSU students.

2026-03-25 15:20:03 UTC

Increasing the feasibility of biking the greenways/easier access for them. Being able to bike to more popular places would make this more wanted.

To make greenways more relevant for students at North Carolina State University, connect them to campus and make them easy and fun to use every day.
