Downtown Bike/Ped Improvements

[Spartan]

Spartanburg is going to do a bunch of projects to help pedestrian circulation downtown. There are several new or modified signals, realigning Silver Hill St (which shouldn't have been built that way to start with) and a streetscape on N Church. I'm not clear on what that actually means for N Church. They won't be able to widen the sidewalks much, but I hope they are able to in front of the Montgomery Building. That section of sidewalk is the most uncomfortable in that area.

I also think it's slightly sketchy to pay for all of this with Broad Street TIF district funds, but it's more important that the work gets done.
