Residents of Anning Court raised concerns during a recent government meeting regarding ongoing traffic issues on Anaport Street, which they believe should be closed off to prevent unauthorized access. A local resident highlighted that despite previous discussions about restricting vehicle entry, cars continue to cut through the area, particularly to access the nearby Dollar General store.

The resident pointed out that a barrier that was promised to be installed has not yet been put in place, exacerbating safety concerns for those living on the narrow street. The resident emphasized the potential dangers posed by increased traffic, especially for vulnerable individuals in the community.

In response, the mayor acknowledged the issue and committed to addressing the situation, indicating that steps would be taken to rectify the problem. The meeting then transitioned to legislative matters, including the introduction of a resolution and an ordinance related to longevity compensation, which was referred to the ordinance committee for further discussion.

The meeting concluded without additional public comments, but the concerns raised about traffic safety on Anaport Street are expected to prompt further action from local officials.
