Description

The City of Greenville is joining forces with the North Carolina Department of Transportation to make improvements to a 1.3-mile section of Dickinson Avenue (SR 1598) from Memorial Drive (N.C. 11) to Reade Circle (SR 1610).

Plans include repairing existing drainage systems, replacing materials under the pavement, repaving the road, and improving pedestrian and bicycle accommodations along the corridor. These improvements are part of a larger revitalization effort of Greenville’s historic Tobacco District, according to project engineer Charles Cox. Improvements will also help to accommodate future traffic needs through 2040.

Proposed Improvements

Memorial Drive to 9th Street

  • Three travel lanes
  • Five-foot-wide sidewalks with a three-foot grass strip between the road and sidewalk

9th Street to Reade Circle

  • Wider 13-foot lanes
  • On-street parking will be eliminated to make room for 8.5-foot-wide sidewalks

14th Street to Reade Circle

  • Aesthetic streetscape improvements, include brick paving along parts of the street, concrete sidewalks with brick edging, street trees with tree pits, and decorative pedestrian-level street lights

There are only a handful of attorneys in NC who practice eminent domain exclusively, and even fewer with NCDOT experience. We have several. That’s why its worth getting in touch with us for a free case evaluation.

Here’s how it works:

1) Tell us about your situation.

2) We research your property as needed, using DOT maps, our own technology, and experience to see the exact effects.

3) We let you know what we think a fair offer would be. This evaluation is free, and there’s no
pressure or obligation to hire us after.

But please don’t wait to act. Waiting can hurt your case, and the cost is the same: free.
