Projects

​This project originated from the Northeast Corridor Infrastructure (NECI) program planning effort. The project proposed to provide streetscape improvements from Canterwood Drive to North Tryon Street. The conceptual cross-section includes two travel lanes, a center turning lane, sidewalk, a planting strip and street trees.

• To improve access to North Tryon Street and the ​Tom Hunter Road light rail station
  

• To provide wider sidewalks, pedestrian refuge, bike lanes and beautification with wider planting strips, decorative lighting and street trees.
  

• To improve all modes of tran​sportation: pedestrian, bicycle, vehicular and mass transit
  

• To improve access to the Hidden Valley neighborhood
  

• To provide infrastructure that supports and encourages economic development​
