North Tryon Streetscape
This project will make street improvements along North Tryon from Dalton Avenue to 30th Street.

What's happened? The project's Planning Phase is complete. The first public meeting took place October 4 where the project team introduced two concepts to the public. A second public meeting took place on February 21 where the recommended alternative was shared. The planning report has been finalized and the design phase has begun.

What's next? The design phase should be complete by early 2014.

Who to contact? Tom Russell, 704-336-4639.

The project will provide infrastructure improvement that will support redevelopment along North Tryon Street. It will build safer pedestrian crossings through traffic calming features, crosswalks, new sidewalk, planting strips, planted medians, landscaping, decorative lighting, reduction of number and/or size of driveway openings, bike lanes, and utility relocation.

Additional goals of the project:

Provide opportunities for street tree planting while protecting and incorporating existing trees
Provide opportunities for decorative lighting on both sides of the street
Provide opportunities to reduce driveway cuts for possible shared driveway options
Provide opportunities to reduce the number and size of driveway openings
Provide appropriate accommodation for bicycle movement

The project limits are along North Tryon Street from Dalton Avenue to 30th Street.
