The City of Hendersonville’s Walk Hendo Steering Committee invites the community to provide a second round of input on the City’s new pedestrian plan.
On May 2, and throughout the month of May, the City of Hendersonville will be hosting public input opportunities for anyone who lives in, works in, or visits Hendersonville. A drop-in-style public meeting will be hosted on May 2 from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM where the community can share their thoughts about the proposed set of pedestrian projects. An online survey will be launched that day and will run throughout May to collect similar feedback.
The Walk Hendo Steering Committee developed the set of pedestrian infrastructure projects out of last summer’s community input sessions in collaboration with the transportation consulting firm Traffic Planning & Design. Walk Hendo is Hendersonville’s pedestrian planning process to identify the community’s vision, strategies, goals, and recommended actions for creating safe places to walk. The project began in the spring of 2022 and is expected to be completed in the late summer or early fall of 2023.

The community’s input will be used to further develop the Walk Hendo Pedestrian Plan. Once the plan is adopted, the City and North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) can use it to direct how we build projects, make policy choices, design programs and events, and apply for new types of funding.
Walk Hendo is made possible with a grant from NCDOT. It is led by Asheville-based transportation consulting firm Traffic Planning & Design. Contact Rachael Bronson at Traffic Planning & Design for more information:
