Final Presentation planned on Clemson Downtown Corridor Study

The City of Clemson has been working with the design firm Alta to develop a long-range plan for the College Avenue corridor from Highway 93 to Highway 123. The study began in August of 2017 and has included four public input sessions and a public design charrette. The study looked into issues such as the potential removal of on-street parking (provided the City can build a new parking deck), increasing sidewalk widths, promoting safe bicycle traffic, promoting public transit, addressing private vehicular traffic and cut-through traffic, improving the streetscape planting, lighting and signage, increasing pedestrian safety, the creation of pedestrian plazas, and possibly adding public green or park space. Final drafts of the ideas developed during the earlier sessions were presented on Dec. 6. A final presentation will be held from 6-7pm on Thursday, Feb. 15, at the new fire station located at 740 Issaqueena Trail.
