City of Greenville to Hold Public Meeting About Augusta Street Road Diet on October 13th

City staff, along with traffic engineering consulting firm Stantec, will present the results of the post-implementation traffic study of the Augusta Street road diet on Thursday, October 13, at 5:30 pm at Westminster Presbyterian Church, 2310 Augusta Street.

There will be a presentation and time for questions from the public.

Beginning in March 2022, the City of Greenville implemented a road diet along the residential section of Augusta Street, from Augusta Place to Crystal Street. Work included restriping the road to convert the existing four-lane section into a three-lane roadway, with one lane in each direction and a two-way left turn lane in the center lane.

The new lane configuration gives left-turning cars a space to wait without blocking traffic. It also gives vehicles turning left off of side roads a refuge before merging into traffic.

Visit the Augusta Street Safety Study page on the City of Greenville website for additional details.
