Brumley Farms project proposes signalized intersection redesign for better traffic flow

During the May 5, 2025, meeting of the Mooresville Board of Commissioners, significant discussions centered around the proposed Courtyards at Brumley Farms project, particularly focusing on plans to restructure a key intersection. The project, presented by a local attorney, aims to enhance traffic flow and safety at the intersection of Highway 152 and another road, which has been a point of concern for residents and officials alike.

The proposed changes include the installation of a signalized intersection that would alter current traffic patterns. Instead of allowing vehicles to veer right without stopping, the new design would require traffic to stop, thereby improving safety for both drivers and pedestrians. The plan also includes dedicated left turn lanes and a traffic signal that would only activate when vehicles approach, minimizing unnecessary delays.

The attorney emphasized that the North Carolina Department of Transportation (DOT) has no current plans to address this intersection, making the proposed changes even more critical for the community. The attorney expressed optimism about community support, noting positive feedback from local residents who had previously voiced concerns about traffic issues.

In addition to the intersection improvements, the meeting highlighted the broader implications of the Courtyards at Brumley Farms project for the community, suggesting that it could enhance local infrastructure and contribute to overall development in the area. The attorney's presentation included visuals of the project layout, aiming to provide clarity on the proposed changes.

As discussions continue, the Board of Commissioners will consider the project's potential benefits, weighing community safety and development needs against the existing traffic challenges. The outcome of this proposal could set a precedent for future developments in Mooresville, reflecting the town's commitment to improving infrastructure and addressing resident concerns.
