Greenville: Furman Students Make Strides in Making the City More Accessible

For years, Furman students have been instrumental in making Greenville, South Carolina, a safer and more equitable place for pedestrians, cyclists, and public transit riders. Through partnerships with organizations like Greenlink, Greenville’s public transit system, students have been able to collect and map data that has led to crucial improvements in the city.

A Winning Partnership with Greenlink

Greenlink has welcomed Furman student fellows into their program, where they have played a key role in gathering field data that has greatly influenced decision-making processes, prioritization analyses, and grant applications. The students’ dedication and hard work have not gone unnoticed, with Greenlink emphasizing the valuable experience they provide to the fellows, connecting them with community leaders and relevant public engagement opportunities.

A New Perspective on Accessibility

Zane Newell, a sustainability science and Spanish double major, served as the Public Transit and Pedestrian Connectivity Fellow for Greenlink. His work shed light on the lack of sidewalk infrastructure along crucial roadways like Poinsett Highway, impacting how Furman staff members commute to work. Newell’s efforts in data collection and analysis have not only benefited Greenlink but have also advanced his skills in urban planning.

Lifesaving Measures in Focus

One Furman student, Lindsay Cribbs, embarked on a project to enhance pedestrian and cyclist safety along dangerous corridors like White Horse Road and Poinsett Highway. Her research, in collaboration with Bike Walk Greenville, highlighted the urgent need for improved infrastructure in these high-crash areas, where vulnerable road users face significant risks daily.

Empowering the Community

The work of these students not only addresses immediate safety concerns but also advocates for a more inclusive and accessible Greenville. By focusing on issues like sidewalk connectivity, bus stop upgrades, and road safety measures, Furman students are actively contributing to a more sustainable and equitable city for all residents.
