Fall semester has begun at UNCG, and, as always, there are students struggling without steady income or financial support from their families. The Spartan Open Pantry helps UNCG and Greensboro College students avoid — or overcome — hunger. The pantry provides non-perishable food to students at the two institutions who are facing food insecurity (and to UNCG staff who are struggling as well). Please join the College Hill Neighborhood Association in supporting the SOP today.
The SOP now also provides business casual clothing, shoes and accessories, as well as bedding, towels and, when available, kitchenware.
The Spartan Open Pantry is a joint project of the Wesley-Luther Campus Ministry and the UNCG Dean of Students Office,

News from Hannah Cockburn, City of Greensboro Director of Transportation:
Thank you for the opportunity to engage with the neighborhood and property owners directly impacted by the Spring Garden resurfacing project as we evaluated extending bike lanes in the corridor.
We received a significant amount of feedback from the pop-up event that informed our final decision to install the bike lanes in both directions between Tate Street and Fulton Street. On the balance, survey responses supported this installation. The extension of bike lanes in this location also supports the city’s goals of making Greensboro car optional and the recommendations of the adopted bicycle and pedestrian plan.
We recognize there are trade-offs and negative impacts associated with this change. In an effort to address the impacts and concerns raised, GDOT is:
The resurfacing contractor is currently adjusting utility access points in the corridor. We expect the milling process to occur by early June and the resurfacing project to be complete by the end of July, depending on the weather cooperating. The contractor will place door hangers on properties directly impacted a day or two ahead of the milling and paving activities.
Please let me know if there are additional concerns and we will continue to provide updates. Thank you!
News from Hanna Cockburn, Greensboro director of transportation:
The resurfacing contractor is making quick progress toward the resurfacing of Spring Garden Street and is beginning to raise water-service boxes and manholes to the finished elevation. To facilitate this work, the pop up installation will be removed Friday April 23. This will provide room for the contractor to work and allow for more operational flexibility for roadway users.
We will continue to collect feedback on the bike-lane installation through the remix platform and the survey through April 30.
I plan to participate in the neighborhood meeting on April 26th to share the feedback we have received to date and the timeline for final design decisions and any information we have from the resurfacing contractor on schedule.
