The Engineering & Property Management (E&PM) project team will manage the Tyvola Road Signature Intersection Project through the stages listed below. Specific work is conducted during each stage with an emphasis on public involvement during the planning and design phases.
Planning & Design Phase (Completed)
City staff worked with the Gannett Fleming consultant team to plan the improvements to Tyvola Road. The plans were based on safety, cost, benefits, traffic analysis and a public involvement process. The public involvement process allowed citizens and nearby businesses to provide input at two public meetings. Click here to view the final concept plan for Tyvola Road.
Real Estate Phase (Completed)
The City's Real Estate staff worked with citizens and businesses to acquire right of way and property easements needed for construction work.
Bid Phase (Completed)
During the bid phase, final specifications were prepared and quantities of material were determined. The City of Charlotte followed the North Carolina state regulations and selected Allied Resources, the lowest responsible bidder.
Construction Phase (Completed Fall 2006)
