What is streetscape?

Streetscape is designed to enhance the pedestrian experience with sidewalks, crosswalks, lighting, public art and plantings, along with other improvements in the public rights-of-way. Most Downtown streetscape improvements are funded through public bonds, most recently the 2015 Streets and Sidewalks bond. Streetscape improvements follow the recommendations from the 2009 Downtown Streetscape and Lighting Master Plan.

See W. Rosemary St., N. Graham St. 100 block, and N. Roberson St. 100 block for the most current streetscape design. See below for a video about the success of the W. Rosemary St. streetscape improvements from 2017:

Recent Streetscape Improvements:

• 100 block N. Graham St. (Summer 2020)
• 100 block N. Roberson St. (Summer 2020)
• W. Rosemary St. from Columbia St. to Merritt Mill Rd. (2016-2020)

The Town is currently designing streetscape improvements for the northside of the 400 block W. Franklin St. between 450 and Roberson St. Staff hope to bid this project in the fall of 2022.
