College Street Redesign Project
The City of Morganton is designing a multimodal connector on College Street between US 70 (W. Fleming Drive) and NC 181 (N. Green Street) west of Downtown Morganton.
The project would reconstruct College Street – which is currently two- to five-lanes wide – to include two travel lanes, sidewalks, and a 12-foot multiuse path to carry the City’s planned greenway extension to W. Fleming Drive.
The project will improve bicycle and pedestrian connectivity and safety.
