QUICK LOOK• Located in city? Only 25% of corridor• Road width? Approximately 40’• Existing speed + traffic? 30 mph + unknown• Road ownership? Mixed, but mostly SCDOT• Possible connections? SRT, neighborhoods, Unity Park• Identified in master plan? No
CONCEPTUAL PROJECT ASSESSMENTAdditional study is needed, but this project would be difficult for the City to prioritize due to jurisdiction, road ownership, and lack of master plan recommendations.Recommendation – Discuss project with SCDOT + Greenville County
