Quail Hollow Drive was identified in the Midtown-St. Albans Area Plan as one of four Green Street projects. Green streets are designed to accomplish the following: 

• Taming vehicle speeds on wide streets with potentially growing traffic volumes.  

• Providing safer, more comfortable places for people to walk or bike. 

• Retaining stormwater before it goes places where it can cause flooding. 

• Greening and beautifying area streets.  

The Midtown-St. Albans Area Plan was approved by City Council in December 2020. A robust public engagement process, including 10 public meetings with 600 participants, informed visioning and recommendations of the plan. 

The Midtown-St. Albans Area Plan identified 7 "Big Moves" as action items coming out of the report. The Quail Hollow project aligns with 4 of the 7 identified Big Moves. 

The need to make Midtown safer and more comfortable for people walking or riding a bicycle emerged as one of the top issues.  

The Quail Hollow Green Street project also supports connectivity and access to the Big Branch Greenway Connector, a high priority trail in the Greenway Master Plan. 

What are the benefits of this design? 

• Slower vehicle speeds. 

• Dedicated lanes for cyclists, scooters, and other active mobility users. 

• Improved experience for pedestrians. 

• Increased connectivity and access to schools, greenways, parks, and commercial areas.
