Johnson and Wales Way/4th Street Extension/Tuckaseegee Road Project

A Transportation Bond Project

The primary goal of this project will be to improve the safety and access of the project streets for all modes of transportation, especially pedestrians and bicyclists.  A key element will be the realignment of the intersections of Johnson And Wales Way at both Trade Street and 4th Street to eliminate the high speed free-flow right turn lanes.

 Objective:

  • Improve safety and access for all modes of travel, especially pedestrians and bicyclists
  • Provide pedestrian and bicycle amenities and connections to key destinations such as parks and greenways
  • Develop alternatives for on-street parking
  • Identify needs and develop alternatives for mid-block crossings
  • Meet current and future traffic demands
  • Identify opportunities for landscaping
  • Identify opportunities for urban spaces
  • Preserve and enhance the local community
