Draft Plan available for comment on DCRP/Mocksville websites  November 7, 2022    The overall concept provides several options for linking Downtown Mocksville tol Davie County Community Park, including two greenway options and one sidewalk option. The eastern greenway option requires a bridge over US 64 (high cost), and does not connect to South Davie Middle School. The sidewalk option along S Salisbury Street would be al huge improvement on existing conditions, but is not what is desired by most public participants in the planning process due to the number of driveways and busy nature oft the corridor. The western greenway option was most preferred at public meetings and would provide the safest alternative that is separated from motor vehicle traffic.
