Department of Transportation 2024-2025 Annual Report

2024-25 Highlights (continued)

Downtown Construction Ahead: The Final Phase of the Downtown Greenway Construction of the final leg of the Downtown Greenway should conclude by the end of 2025. Following the former Atlantic & Yadkin Railroad line, this segment connects Spring Garden Street and Hill Street and completes a four-mile loop around downtown. Using federal, local, and donated funds, the project fuses a critical facility for walking and biking with recreation programming, access to greenspace, and public art. Downtown Streetscapes Nearing Completion Downtown streetscape projects made significant progress in 2024-25. Baseball-themed public art highlights the completed Eugene and Bellemeade project outside of First National Bank Field. Progress on Greene Street continued, with improvements to restore

the street to two-way traffic expected by the end of 2025. The Davie and February One streetscape should be finished by the same time. Of particular note is the City’s first festival-style street in the 100 block of East February One Place. This ‘curbless’ facility honors the city’s 1960 sit-in movement with quotes from the Greensboro Four etched into its pavers. Remembering Eric Tart

City leaders and others honored the memory of long-time Downtown Greenway Project Manager Eric Tart with a June ceremony along the

Greenway. Officials unveiled a plaque honoring Tart, who is remembered for his thoroughness and dedication. Though he passed away unexpectedly in 2022, his impact is still felt and his contributions will long be remembered.

These bicycle, roadway, and sidewalk projects were under construction in 2024-2025. See www.greensboro-nc.gov/projects24-25 for more project details. Projects Under Construction
