City Council wants higher priority status assigned to Tryon Road
The Raleigh City Council voted unanimously today to ask the Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (CAMPO) and the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) to assign a higher priority status to a road improvement project for Tryon Road.
Council members formally approved a resolution asking that the Tryon Road project be elevated to a higher priority status. Assigning the project a higher priority status would result in state and federal funding become more readily available for the work. The proposed project would realign Tryon Road form the Norfolk Southern railroad tracks to Wilmington Street, including replacing the bridge over the railroad tracks with a new structure.
In other action today, the City Council voted unanimously to authorize City staff to complete landscape design plans for Tryon Road and Edwards Mill Road improvement projects. Design plans that are 80 percent complete were presented to the council for its review and approval.
The landscape design plans are for the sections of Tryon Road that have been widened in recent years by the City (Dillard Drive to Gorman Street, Gorman Street to Lake Wheeler Road, and Dillard Drive to Campbell Road) and for the City’s extension of Edwards Mill Road from Trinity Road to Chapel Hill Road (Highway 54). JDavis Landscape Architects is the City’s landscape design consultant for the road improvement projects.
