Project Overview

Between 2014 and 2020, voters approved $120 million for the Comprehensive Neighborhood Improvement Program (CNIP). This project was selected as one of the projects to move forward under the Prosperity Village CNIP.

This project includes the design and installation of streetscape beautification to Craven Thomas Road and Robert Helms Road, off the I-485/Prosperity Church Road exit. The streetscape will include widening of the existing sidewalk to a multiuse path, trees/shrubs, resting areas, installation of artwork, bus stop shelter and plaza and street- and pedestrian-scale lighting. The Arts & Science Council orchestrated the art process, hiring the artist Robert Tully, and coordinating with him throughout the planning and design phases.
