Board Tables Neely Circle Closure Request, Will Explore Speed Bumps

Burke County Board of Commissioners · April 14, 2026

Summary

The Board tabled a petition from Robert and Veronica Neely to close Neely Circle and agreed to further explore installing speed bumps as a compromise to address traffic-speed concerns.

Robert and Veronica Neely requested that Neely Circle be closed. County Manager Adam Flakes outlined the Board’s options, and after discussion—particularly about traffic speed concerns—the Board reached a consensus to table the closure request and further explore installing speed bumps as an interim or alternative measure.

No vote was taken to close the road; the discussion ended with staff directed to evaluate speed bump installation and report back to the Board. The minutes do not include a timeline or cost estimate for the traffic-calming option.
