Looks nice. Hopefully they will put landscaping at the woodruff road exits. It looks a little dull.It should be presentable since woodruff road is very popular.  I noticed new landscaping at butler/maudlin exit, so maybe they can do woodruff aswell.

They will have to wait until the interchange is completed like in 3-4 years.

The City of Greenville is requesting bids for new streetscape and landscape along the north side of Augusta Street, a state road, between Lupo St. and Capers St. in the City of Greenville. The project consists of demolition of approximately 1000 feet of sidewalk, curb and gutter, and driveways. New sidewalks will include brick banding and driveways will be relocated to optimize commercial access along Augusta Street. Curb lawns and several planters will be added along with 6 pedestrian lights. The curb side lane will require full milling and repave at project completion. Due to traffic restrictions, driveway replacement may only occur on weekends. Bids close August 13th.

This project is back on. Bids go out March 20th.

I wonder if the 1 cent Sales Tax would be used on this, if it goes forward?

It's amazing what the lighting can do for a streetscape. It's not done, but if you haven't been by Camperdown way recently, it is looking fantastic! The lighting alone helps immensely, and paired with the new wide sidewalk, the street is really transformed visually. The trees will be icing on the cake. Great work, Greenville!

[GvilleSC]

I took two shots of the progress today. I wish I had taken the time to get a shot from the Camperdown/River Street intersection. Maybe next time. For now:
