Community backs traffic calming project for safer streets
In a recent government meeting, the committee discussed the traffic calming project for North High Point Road, which has garnered significant community support. Sean, a committee member, presented a memo detailing the project's progress, highlighting that the Neighborhood Work Committee had previously approved the concept design. Following this, ballots were distributed to property owners and tenants in the affected area, with a return rate of 52%—exceeding the minimum threshold of 50%. Notably, over 67% of the returned ballots were in favor of the project.

Alder John Schaeffer expressed strong support for the initiative, emphasizing the longstanding traffic issues in the area and the efforts of local residents. The committee unanimously agreed to prioritize the project and directed Sean to include a budget request for both design and construction in the 2025 budget.

The meeting also touched on the Greenway Mixed Use Redevelopment project, where further discussions were held regarding the vacation of excess right-of-way. The committee is set to review a proposal from Air Raider Associates, collaborating with the developer, to assess the implications of the redevelopment on the surrounding area.

Overall, the meeting underscored the community's engagement in local governance and the committee's commitment to addressing traffic safety concerns while planning for future developments.
