Downtown Streetscape Bellemeade-Eugene Project Overview

Downtown Streetscape Master Plan History

The Downtown Greensboro Streetscape Master Plan was made possible by $25 million in voter- approved Community and Economic Development Bond. Streetscaping serves as critical infrastructure to improve the pedestrian experience, encourage walking and biking, reduce automobile traffic, and improve the quality of experience downtown.

The purpose of the Downtown Greensboro Streetscape Master Plan is to create a cohesive overarching streetscape framework to guide development and improve the social, physical, and economic well-being of downtown.

Bellemeade Street will become a lively and flexible corridor stitching together a dynamic entertainment district. The steetscape will celebrate baseball and serve to promote a unique sense of identity for the district around the First National Bank Field. It also serves as key gateway to downtown. Improvements will include: trees and other landscaping, wider sidewalks, benches, string lights, and place-making elements.
