A restriping project will add bike lanes to Whitehall Park Drive, connecting Brown Grier Road to Ayrsley and S Tryon Street. Striping is to be completed in 2023.

A pedestrian safety and capacity improvement project at S Tryon Street and Sandy Porter Road is nearly complete.

The shared-use path along Westinghouse Boulevard is part of the city's Comprehensive Neighborhood Improvement Program (CNIP) for the Whitehall/Ayrsley area. It will connect Steele Creek Road, which will also have a multi-use path in the future, with S Tryon Street.

The city is installing new street lighting along key corridors, including S Tryon Street.
