It's narrowed down from just past Stone (going toward Pleasantburg) all the way to White Oak (just before you get to the Pleasantburg intersection). Only 2 lanes w/ a turn lane in the middle.
PLUS, bike lanes!
I think it's fantastic, and more forward-thinking than some posters realize.

I agree it's a forward-thinking "feel-good" kind of thing, but I would think E. North St. should be a main conduit of traffic into town from the Eastside. As the area grows, it (and other roads) will still need to be able to handle more traffic per day

If Greenville does absolutely NOTHING about mass transportation, then yes, we will need roads to be wider and our only option will be automobiles. However, narrower roads, increased pedestrian-friendly corridors, sidewalks, and bike lanes all work into the promotion and viability of a MUCH greater transportation future outside of cars.

I WANT to believe you..... I think people should have access to and use a comprehensive public transport system, but..... This is the independent-minded U.S. of A. after all.... (and I say that as a fairly darned conservative person).

The independent-minded US of A... that's got to come to grips with a depleting world oil supply, and a way of life that deeply depends on oil. That dependency involves the resources needed, the production process, the packaging, and delivery of goods. Currently, there's NOTHING even close to being capable of replacing oil in our lives. Somethings gonna give eventually. It's planning ahead and changing our development patterns that will prepare us...

Oh, I agree with you. But, of course, I thought SUV's would be a thing of the past by now (given the spike in gas prices a couple yrs ago).

The trouble is that gas prices didn't stay at that level. Most of us have gone back to very much the same routine as before, I'm sure. Oil isn't going to be found again in such abundance and in such a cheap and easy harvesting manner as exists now. So, no, SUV's haven't gone away, BUT neither has cheap gasoline. It came back, and the demand for less fuel-efficient vehicles returned, too.

Maybe, but I'm saying that I learned a lesson that year, and the size of the vehicle I drive (and found could get along just fine with, thank you very much) is MUCH reduced from now on. Just doesn't seem to have caught on with very many others, though. Sad.

I agree. And I love my SUV.
