City Council Approves Major Road Resurfacing Project Before School Starts

During a recent Greenbelt City Council meeting, officials discussed the ongoing parking lot improvement program and the timeline for road resurfacing projects. Council members expressed their eagerness to complete the paving work before the school year begins, with a target date set for August 26.

City officials confirmed that the contractor is prepared to start work immediately, minimizing potential delays. Councilmember Pompey made a motion to authorize the city manager to proceed with the road resurfacing and concrete work, which was unanimously approved by the council.

In response to concerns about informing residents of construction activities, officials noted that signage will be placed at least 24 hours in advance, and additional communication will be sent out via email blasts. The council emphasized the importance of keeping the community informed, especially given the ongoing summer school activities at Roosevelt, which may affect pedestrian traffic.

The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn, with council members set to reconvene shortly for a work session.
