GREENSBORO, N.C. (WGHP) — Randleman Road has returned to the center of attention for Greensboro city leaders, who are looking to address long-standing safety and crime issues in the area following the recent shooting of two young people at a local Waffle House.
Although city officials had already planned to discuss revitalizing Randleman Road, the incident added urgency to an area that has seen growing concerns over crime and violence.
The city’s Randleman Road Corridor Update Plan, a project years in the making, aims to improve safety and community well-being along a nearly two-and-a-half-mile stretch of the corridor. Phase One of the project was completed in 2016, and Phase Two focuses specifically on safety enhancements and infrastructure improvements to benefit residents and local businesses.
