Sterling Community Master Plan - Greenville County

Sterling Neighborhood Master Plan July 2010
7.2.2 Neighborhood Gateway Enhancements
One way to build up the image and pride of the community is through its entryways. The master
plan recommends a series of improvements to the primary gateways to the Sterling
neighborhood. Gateways provide important perceptions of the overall health and vibrancy of a
community. As one of the first landscapes of the neighborhood that visitors often see, it is
important that the entrance experience is positive and that the inside experience is worthwhile.
Elements of gateways help define the character of the community and distinguish a
neighborhood from others. These elements include such things as signature flowering trees,
wayfinding signage and historical markers, decorative lighting, traffic-calming measures, and
pedestrian features such as crosswalks and ADA curb ramps.
The master plan map shows four designated neighborhood gateways, placed at the following
intersections: Valentine Street and Anderson Road; Easley Bridge Road and Andrews Street;
Dunbar Street and Anderson Street; and Pendleton Street and Calhoun Street, and Valentine and
Anderson.
