The Master Plan aims to ensure the city’s transportation infrastructure keeps up with the continued development in the Central Business District. Clint Link, director of the city’s engineering services, explained that the study will identify traffic, pedestrian, and bicycle safety projects.
“As our city is growing and our Central Business District is growing, we’ve got to be able to identify the corridors that we need to be focusing on to address operational efficiency within the transportation system and safety improvements,” Link said.
Community members are invited to complete an online survey to provide feedback on the traffic infrastructure needs in downtown Greenville. A public meeting will also be held for the master planning process on May 15 from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. at the Prisma Health Welcome Center in Unity Park.
Projects to improve mobility, congestion and safety on downtown streets will be identified in the study. In addition, the study will also examine alternative modes of transportation in downtown.
The first phase of the Downtown Transportation Master Plan was completed in 2019. The city used the study to identify and complete several short-term projects, such as adding a second right turn lane from East North Street onto Academy Street.
The study’s final report will be submitted to the city’s engineering department in August. For more information, visit www.greenvillesc.gov/1647/Downtown-Transportation-Master-Plan
