I believe based on what I've read that even funding is earmarked it is just a matter of the public requesting it.

As for the Renaissance Park neighborhood - the developer is unavailable for comment but the residents are pushing strongly to have this happen. I am one of them.

Thanks for the update

One of my close friends died driving along the notorious s-curve on Tryon rd. The Triangle has the worst infrastructure than any other major NC metro area.

I hate to hear that. We keep telling people it is dangerous and to slow without a lot of luck. Can you send me some info on that incident? We are trying to compile all the incidents like this we can to share with public officials.

Thanks so much and sorry for your loss.

I signed it as well. If anyone wants the link, pm the OP and they'll gladly send it to you as well as meeting info.

Every time I drive through that stretch of Tryon I grip my wheel tight. It makes me nervous whenever I'm rounding those corners because I feel that someone's going to not be paying attention and slam into me head on because they don't expect the road to curve as much as it does with the speed limit.
