In November 2014, voters approved $20 million for the
Comprehensive Neighborhood Improvement Program (CNIP). The Eastway Drive streetscape & pedestrian improvement study was selected as one of the projects to move forward under the
Central/Albemarle/Shamrock CNIP.
The study will identify and refine specific opportunities/locations to improve Eastway Drive to make it more pedestrian-friendly. These improvements might include providing better sidewalks, landscaping and/or crossing opportunities at various locations, particularly in areas with concentrations of pedestrians and commercial activity or at locations that would connect a broader bicycle/pedestrian network. The study will also consider ways to improve the east-west bicycle and pedestrian connections across the Eastway corridor between the future Briar Creek Greenway/Merry Oaks Neighborhood and Kilborne Park.
