Vitality
Upholding our community's vitality demands ongoing investment in life-enhancing programs, including expanded transit, green spaces, separated bike lanes, new community and senior centers, and walkable neighborhoods. We're committed to nurturing arts, culture, and community engagement.
Prioritizing walkability and bike-ability in Cary connects people, places, and prosperity. Walkable areas benefit health and local businesses, yielding a "green dividend" from reduced driving. Walking boosts creativity, productivity, tourism, and local investments, while safer conditions reduce driving costs, traffic, and road repair expenses.
Fostering vitality involves expanding programs, facilitating inclusive learning, and mutual support. This propels us to reach our utmost potential, encompassing ongoing cultural initiatives that advocate inclusion, diversity, and non-discrimination through arts, celebrations, and events.
