The City of Greensboro desires to design construction plans for Elm Street between Washington Street and Bellemeade Street and for Bellemeade Street between Elm Street and Greene Street and between Eugene Street and Edgeworth Street. The design is to include: roadway and hydraulic engineering, landscape architecture, traffic engineering, and traffic signal analysis. Also, included is the design for installing a new 12" DI water main.

Prime consideration was given to their past experience and performance with projects involving streetscape work, sidewalks, roadway configuration, traffic analysis, landscaping, utility design, and public participation.
