SUBJECT: Start of Study, for pedestrian signal improvements in Greensboro, NC
TIP No. HL-0048

The City of Greensboro is starting the project development, environmental, and engineering studies
for pedestrian signal improvements throughout the City of Greensboro in Guilford County. T he
project consists of traffic signal upgrades at thirty-one existing signalized intersections, including the
installation of pedestrian signal heads with push buttons and signs, curb ramps, and crosswalks to
connect existing sidewalk networks, while maintaining existing signal poles. All work is expected to
be completed within existing right-of-way. The project is expected to require no tree clearing and
minimal ground disturbance. The attached signal locations table, vicinity map, and environmental
features maps show the project locations and up-to-date project information. Any information you
might have that would be helpful in evaluating potential environmental impacts of the project would
be appreciated.

Greensboro staff or their consultants may be contacting you to request project-specific information.
We welcome your input if you have time-sensitive concerns. Your input will be used in the
development of environmental documentation prepared pursuant to the National Environmental
Policy Act. If applicable, please identify any permits or approvals which may be required by your
organization.

If possible, please submit any comments by December 3rd, 2023, so that your comments can be used
in the development of project improvements. If you have any questions concerning the project,
please contact Chris Spencer, Transportation Engineering Manager, at 336-433-7218 or by email at
[e-mail] or Alexa Kennedy, Consultant Transportation Planner, at 984-269-
4732 or by email at [e-mail].
