The North Tryon Street Business Corridor is a planned redevelopment of segments of N Tryon St. and the parallel N Church St. in central Charlotte, North Carolina. The project will transform the corridor into a two-way pair between the two streets and introduce a number of pedestrian enhancements to promote development. The two-way pair will serve to increase safety for motorized and non-motorized transport and improve traffic flow. Pedestrian improvements include new sidewalks and crosswalks, planted strips, and lighting, as well as traffic calming measures. The corridor will also feature vegetated medians, bike lanes, and stormwater improvements.
The project was scored early in concept planning and design development, and demonstrated that a target of Bronze or Silver would be achievable with minimal to moderate effort during design and construction.
