Transit Proximity Rates<br />
Access to Parks, Libraries and Greenways<br />
When residents have sufficient access to services, they are more likely to utilize services that meet<br />
or exceed their needs. One of the County’s goals is to have all open and developed County libraries,<br />
parks and greenways within 1/4 mile of a transit stop.<br />
Types of parks include: community parks, golf courses, nature preserves, recreation centers, regional<br />
parks, special facilities and pools. Neighborhood parks are not included in the analysis.<br />
Only greenway entrances are considered for the analysis. Public entrances are identified as access<br />
locations with a car parking lot, non-neighborhood street entrance or access via a public facility.<br />
While the County strives to ensure facilities are accessible to all Mecklenburg residents, some public<br />
libraries, park and recreation facilities, and greenways are not within 1/4 mile of transit stops. Since<br />
2014, transit proximity has been on the rise for parks, somewhat on a decline for public libraries and<br />
remained flat for greenways.<br />
