This in-town route runs primarily along Second Avenue, turning north through the central business district to reach the Highland Rail Trail on Long Avenue. By using a portion of this route to link the Avon & Catawba Creeks Greenway to the rail trail, users can travel 6.2 miles, from Robinwood Road through downtown to Bulb Avenue, or vice versa. In the near future, the 0.6-mile Highland Branch Trail will extend these connections to Rankin Lake Park.

Note: As this downtown connection follows the roadway network, users should be cautious at street crossings and be conscious of motor vehicle traffic as they enjoy the route.
