The NC-210 Feasibility Study corridor is a 16.2-mile corridor in Pender County connecting existing park trails in the Holly Shelter Game Land and North Topsail Beach.

This plan will determine the feasibility of constructing the East Coast Greenway (ECG) from the Nelva R. Albury Recreation Area in Surf City (at the intersection of NC 210 and Broadway Street) to the intersection of US 17 and SR 1565 (Country Club Drive), primarily along the East Coast Greenway proposed corridor.

The study team will evaluate the corridor’s potential to create dedicated biking and/or walking facilities as part of the ECG system that is physically separated from the roadway.

The NC-210 Feasibility Study will include:

1.     Existing conditions analysis.
2.     Alternatives development, including analysis of natural and human environmental constraints, along the East Coast Greenway proposed                  corridor and along potential alternate routes.
3.     Stakeholder and public engagement to determine known constraints, gauge public support for the project, and help select a preferred                    alternative.
4.     Development of a final study document.
