Tell Us How You Would Reconfigure Battleground-Lawndale-Westover!

The Greensboro Urban Area Metropolitan Planning Organization and the NC Department of Transportation (NC DOT) are seeking initial community input for a future reconfiguration of the Battleground Avenue, Lawndale Drive and Westover Terrance corridor. Residents are asked to detail their concerns about safety and other issues traveling to and through this area.

.

To share your input:

• ONLINE: Use the interactive feedback tool, available online: http://www.greensboro-nc.gov/.../battleground-lawndale...

• IN PERSON: Attend a public input session Monday, March 27 at Guilford Park Presbyterian Church Fellowship Hall, 2100 Fernwood Dr. There will be a session for area business and property owners from 2-4 pm and a session for the general public from 5-7 pm. Drop in any time.

“This important corridor has a variety of challenges, from a confusing layout to congestion to limited pedestrian and cyclist access. We are asking residents, property owners, and businesses to help us identify specific issues and set goals for what improvements we would like to see NCDOT make in the next decade,” said Greensboro Transportation Director Hanna Cockburn

The project, NCDOT Project U-6108, is intended to improve traffic congestion, make the road network less confusing, better accommodate bus users, cyclists and pedestrians, and improve safety for all users. The project is still in the very early planning stages. Funding for initial engineering work for the project is included in the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP), which identifies transportation funding and a schedule for projects over a 10-year period. Funding for construction for the reconfiguration has not yet been identified, meaning the project construction timelines are still years out.
