Greensboro to close parts of Elm Street in pilot; public info session set for July 21
Summary
A City of Greensboro staff member announced a pilot to close sections of Elm Street to traffic and invited business owners, property owners and neighbors to a drop‑in information session July 21, 11:30 a.m.–1 p.m. at the Depot's West Concourse; online plans are available.
A City of Greensboro staff member announced the city will begin a pilot program closing parts of Elm Street in downtown Greensboro to vehicle traffic. The staff member invited business and property owners and nearby residents to a drop-in information session to view the plans and ask questions.
The session is scheduled for Tuesday, July 21, from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the West Concourse of the Depot, just to the right of the Amtrak entrance. Parking in the Depot lot will be free during the event, the staff member said. The city also posted project plans online at greensboro-nc.gov/meetmeonelm for people who cannot attend or who want more time with the materials.
Why it matters: closing a block or blocks of Elm Street could change traffic patterns and affect downtown businesses and property access. The city said the information session is intended to gather questions and feedback from nearby property and business owners and neighbors before the pilot begins.
Details that officials provided at the announcement were limited to the date, time, place and where to view materials online; the staff member did not specify which exact blocks will be closed, how long the pilot will run, or when a final decision will be made. Those operational details were described as part of the plans available at the city website.
The city did not present a formal vote or motion during this announcement; the staff member framed the remarks as public outreach and scheduling for the information session.
