Pedestrian Crosswalk Improvements  The residents of Jamestown will be able to walk with history just a bit easier over the coming months. The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) and the Town of Jamestown will partner to improve crosswalks along Main St. and Guilford Rd. to make walking through Jamestown safer and more relaxing.

The project is being placed under contract and final details are being discussed. Improvements will include installing and upgrading pedestrian signals, wheelchair ramps and crosswalks. The project is on schedule to begin after March 15, 2010 and continue through August. The first phase of this project is nearly complete as pedestrian signals are being installed. The next phase will begin with the paving of Guilford Road and installation of "brick" crosswalks.
