Randleman Road has been one of Greensboro’s most significant entry points for years—a vital stretch connecting neighborhoods, businesses, and commuters. But ask anyone who lives, works, or travels along this 2.3-mile corridor between I-40 and I-85, and they’ll tell you the road needs more than just a facelift. Deteriorating buildings, insufficient lighting, and increasing traffic safety concerns have all taken their toll.

The City of Greensboro is now stepping in with an ambitious plan to transform Randleman Road into a vibrant, welcoming corridor that reflects what Greensboro has to offer. And for those who want to have a say in shaping this transformation, the city offers two final opportunities to provide input on the proposed upgrades.

Listening to the Community

City planners have been hard at collecting feedback from residents and business owners, hosting public engagement events over the past year to gather ideas and concerns. From a community picnic this summer to meetings earlier in the year, the city has sought to ensure that everyone with a stake in the corridor has a voice in its future.

A Vision for Randleman Road

Randleman Road is more than just a thoroughfare; it’s a key transportation route, a commercial hub, and the gateway to many of Greensboro’s established neighborhoods. But in its current state, the corridor falls short of its potential.

The city’s draft plan offers a roadmap for addressing the corridor’s most pressing issues while laying the foundation for a brighter future.

The plan also includes innovative ideas like “wayfinding tools” to guide visitors, increased fines for illegal truck parking, and collaboration with health organizations to bring more medical facilities to the area.

A Shared Responsibility

City officials recognize that transforming Randleman Road requires more than infrastructure upgrades—it demands collaboration among businesses, residents, and local leaders. The city plans to partner with private landowners, public safety organizations, and health agencies to ensure the corridor becomes a safer, more welcoming place for everyone.

This project isn’t just about revitalizing a single road; it’s about fostering pride in the community and creating opportunities for growth and connection. From new lighting to public art installations, every detail of the plan is designed to reflect Greensboro’s values and aspirations.

Your Chance to Shape the Future

The transformation of Randleman Road is a shared effort, and the city relies on residents’ input to ensure the final plan reflects the community’s needs. The upcoming public engagement events are a unique opportunity to help shape the future of this vital corridor.

“This isn’t just a plan for today—it’s a vision for tomorrow,” said a city planner. “Randleman Road has the potential to be a thriving gateway into Greensboro, but we need the community’s help to make it happen.”
