Public invited to view Coxe Avenue Streetscape design at Open House on March 24
The City of Asheville invites the public to an Open House to view the design for the Coxe Avenue Streetscape Project on Monday, March 24, 2025, 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Bear’s Smokehouse Barbeque.
This project aims to make improvements to Coxe Avenue that will enhance safety and the overall experience for users including pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorists. Currently at just under halfway through the design phase, the project team is seeking community input on public amenities as well as loading zone needs, with a goal of striking an appropriate balance between project goals and potential property impacts.
Attendees will have the opportunity to see how community input, primarily provided during the South Slope Vision Plan process, is integrated into the current design.
Join us at our Open House:
-
When: Monday, March 24, 2025, 5 p.m. - 7 p.m.
-
Where: Bear’s Smokehouse Barbeque at 135 Coxe Avenue
Project Improvements include:
High-visibility crosswalks, trees and ground cover, pedestrian lighting, water main replacement, upgraded stormwater infrastructure, continuous sidewalk, dedicated bike lane, and elevated roadway section (Banks Ave to Buxton Ave).
Can’t make it to the Open House? We’d still like to keep you involved – please fill out this short survey.
Timeline:
Design is anticipated to wrap up in late 2025, and construction on the Coxe Avenue Streetscape is scheduled to begin in 2026.
