The Jaeger Company assisted the
city of Greensboro in the design and implementation of a comprehensive
downtown improvement program. The new streetscape complements the
historic character of downtown, facilitates easy access to its businesses
and institutions, and makes the town center more conducive to pedestrian
activities.
The streetscape master plan specified sidewalk improvements, utilizing
the historic pattern of multi-colored hexagonal pavers; pedestrian
amenities; and the development of off-street parking to replace
former on-street spaces. A canopy of native trees, selected for
their appropriateness as a historic species as well as their sustainable
characteristics, was returned to the town center. TEA funding was
used to complete the improvements and acquire and develop new parking.
The firm assisted the city in being selected as a "Better Hometown,"
a downtown revitalization effort patterned after the state’s
successful Main Street program. The firm also assisted in the completion
of landscape and site improvements at the courthouse square, a major
green space in the town center.
