Sterling Community Master Plan - Greenville County

Sterling Neighborhood Master Plan July 2010
Master Plan Element 16. Dunbar Street Enhancements turn a wide multilane roadway into a
tree-lined boulevard. By creating a full canopy of tree cover over the road, this will mark the
prominence of the street and the neighborhood and give it a more pedestrian friendly and
comfortable scale. An improved crosswalk system will allow the northern and southern portions
of Sterling neighborhood to once again be connected. As it is now, Dunbar Street acts as a
barrier to pedestrians on either side of the street due to poor crosswalk designations and heavy
traffic along the road.
Master Plan Element 17. Sterling Tiger Path is named for the old Sterling High School’s
mascot, the Tiger. This greenway will connect the Brushy Creek Greenway to the Dunbar Green
and Dunbar Street. The green way will follow alongside the creek, south of Dunbar Street.
Master Plan Element 18. Dunbar Circle is a proposed traffic circle at the intersection of
Valentine and Dunbar designed to reduce inefficiencies of a normal traffic light, especially at
peek rush hours. This circle will reflect the landscaping of many of the intersection gateway
areas throughout Sterling.
