Planning
Since 2001, the Charles B. Aycock Neighborhood, in partnership with the city's Department of Housing and Community Development, has undertaken several intensive planning projects. Summit Avenue Corridor Study The city of Greensboro and the neighborhood produced the Summit Avenue Corridor Study, which charts a course for physical and zoning improvements on the main thoroughfares through the neighborhood. It was adpoted by the city council in September, 2006. Execution of the corridor plans is now underway, with the city planning to reduce the number of power lines on Summit Ave., and the neighborhood beautifucation committee working on a tree-planting plan through the Neighborhoods Program for fall 2007. Strategic Plan for the Aycock Neighborhood Adopted by City Council in November, 2003, this plan lays out concrete goals and action steps for our neighborhood. It is our long-term blueprint for action. If you want to know what our neighborhood is about and what it plans to do, read this document! The Aycock Traditional Neighborhood Plan The outcome of a neighborhood planning charrette held in 2002, this book contains a broad vision of our neighborhood's future. Its ideas were refined and consolidated in the Strategic Plan for the Aycock Neighborhood and the Summit Avenue Corridor Study. Although the TND plan was not adopted as official city policy, it is nevertheless full of great ideas. Special Thanks None of the above could have been accomplished without the assitance of many people on Greensboro's city staff. We would like to thank especially Stefan-leih Geary, Sue Schwartz, Dan Curry, and Andy Scott in the department of Housing and Community Development. Thanks also to Chris Spencer and Adam Fischer in GDOT. And thank you to the Greensboro City Council, which has strongly supported these efforts for the past five years! |
