Brown-Grier Road, Sandy Porter Road, and Ayrsley Town Boulevard are

Public Meeting
Public Meeting Tuesday, April 17, 2018 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Kennedy Middle School

Join city staff on Tuesday, April 17 for a drop-in meeting from 5:30

received during previous in-person and online meetings. These
projects are located along Brown-Grier Road between Steele Creek

Williams Glen Road and South Tryon Street. Potential improvements
include additional lanes, medians, bicycle facilities, planting
strips, sidewalks, and other amenities.

Ayrsley Town
Boulevard Project Update
The project team
will be attending the Ayrsley Community Event on April 18 from noon
until 2 p.m. in the Piedmont Social House lawn. Staff will be
available to introduce residents to the project and answer
questions. See
Notice. Specific improvements may include pedestrian signals,
pedestrian safety refuges, reverse-angle parking,
reconstructing sidewalk ramps to meet ADA/PROWAG standards, and
striping crosswalks. See
Ayrsley Town Boulevard Project.
Westinghouse
Boulevard Multiuse Trail
This project will
construct a multiuse trail for bicyclists and pedestrians along
Westinghouse Boulevard between South Tryon Street and Shopton Road
West. This trail will eventually tie into the greenway system.
Design of this project continues, and the project team expects to
complete final plans in the summer of 2018. Updates will be posted
as the project proceeds through the design phase. See
Westinghouse Boulevard Multiuse Trail.
Steele Creek
Greenway
A greenway along Steele Creek from
Westinghouse Boulevard to Olympic High School has also been selected
for further planning.

Public Art
Approximately half
of 1% of the cost of Charlotte capital projects is reserved for
public art, so there will be artwork included in the roadways and
other projects. Estimated cost is $180,000.
In
November 2016 voters approved a $55,000,000 bond referendum for
Neighborhood Improvement Bonds to pay for continuing expenses for
the Whitehall/Ayrsley and other CNIP projects.
