Overview

The voter-approved transportation bond included intersection improvements in and around Pine Grove Drive. A comprehensive traffic analysis was conducted to look at the best way to implement these improvements. The analysis looked at the area as a whole, taking into account the ripple effect that occurs when traffic patterns are changed at a nearby location.

In early 2020, City Council approved an engineering contract to design four projects based on results of the traffic study. Council approved the design of the following improvements that, combined, will improve traffic flow, reduce the number of vehicular conflict points, and improve safety for motorists and pedestrians.

Improvements are planned for the Pine Grove Drive/Holly Tree Road intersection. The intersection will receive traffic signal improvements, additional turn lanes, a signalized U-turn movement, and signalized pedestrian crossings with marked crosswalks.  A second southbound lane on Pine Grove Drive from Greenville Loop Road to Beasley Road intersection will also be constructed through this intersection as well as a signalized U-turn movement at Beasley Road.

Improvements to the Pine Grove Drive / Greenville Loop Road intersection include a dual lane roundabout at the intersection of Pine Grove Drive and Greenville Loop Road, an additional southbound lane on Pine Grove Drive between Greenville Loop Road and Beasley Road, and pedestrian improvements at the intersection including marked crosswalks.
