Greenwood has completed the first phase of its redevelopment of Madison Avenue. The project is a continuation of the city’s efforts to revitalize downtown Greenwood, known locally as Old Town. The initial phase of construction encompassed a portion of Madison between Pearl and Noble streets.
The $2 million project includes a multiuse 12-foot-wide trail for pedestrians and bicyclists, a landscaped bioswale, two pedestrian crosswalks, a pedestrian signal at Euclid Avenue, decorative lightning and a revitalized public parking lot at Broadway and Madison. “The new Madison Avenue provides an opportunity for residents and visitors to enjoy a more connected and walkable downtown,” Mayor Mark W. Myers said. “With the new updates, business owners along the avenue will benefit from increased pedestrian traffic.
“We’ve received a ton of positive feedback from retail and restaurant business owners and look forward to seeing their growth and continued success as we continue to revitalize Madison Avenue and Old Town Greenwood.” Completion of the first phase provides significant connectivity for multiple downtown parking lots as well, providing residents and visitors the additional benefit of easier vehicle access.
