[C4 Rides] Route advice needed for NCDOT

[A G]

Matt - i live off Mallard Creek & have commuted from my house to work
downtown.  I am fine w/ the route from Cindy Lane (which has a bike
lane) downtown - but going the way it's mapped from Cindy Lane to
Concord is not a route i would use.  and you could not pay me to go down 29.
