Winston-Salem sets Sept. 30 public meeting on Long Branch Trail connector

Winston-Salem has scheduled the first public-input meeting for the Wake Forest University Long Branch Trail connector project from 5:30 to 7 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 30, 2026.

The meeting will be held at Samaritan Ministries, 414 E. Northwest Boulevard, Winston-Salem. The city calendar identifies the event as a transportation meeting and lists it as the first public-input session for the connector.

For residents who use the Long Branch Trail or travel near the Wake Forest campus, the session is an opportunity to review the project information and offer feedback while planning is underway. The official listing does not announce construction dates or a final design, so those details should not be assumed from the meeting notice.

Questions may be directed to the contact listed by the city at 336-727-2707 or to Liam Bowman through the event page. Reporting is based on the City of Winston-Salem's Sept. 30, 2026, event listing.
