Uptowne High Point is in the spotlight! City Project leaders met with the High Point City Council this week to give them a report on their vision of Uptowne. They presented renderings of a future Uptowne by High Point Architect, Peter Freeman. The drawings include a two-laned Main Street, round about fountain, condos, active store fronts, landscaping, and street scape. Leaders asked Council to consider lowering the speed limit from 45 to 25. Jay Wagner, Uptowne High Point Chair, pointed out that Uptowne will be more active when the traffic slows down and people realize what is around them. Restaurants want to create outdoor dining opportunities, yet feel uncomfortable doing so at the current speed limit.
