Commissioners report grass clearing on North Lee Highway, paving to begin on Highway 64
Summary
Commissioners reported roadside brush removal on North Lee Highway after safety complaints, an upcoming paving project on Highway 64, and a new lane easing traffic at Cleveland Middle School.
Commissioner Mason (Sixth District) said county and state crews cut tall Johnson grass on North Lee Highway after constituents reported that vegetation was obstructing visibility for drivers. Mason thanked TDOT supervisor Grady Patterson and county probation staff for assisting with the work.
Commissioner Thompson reported that "Dan Howe kept his word. They're starting to pave Highway 64 from Lyle Road to Polk County," saying the project is the culmination of long-standing requests.
Commissioner Winters said traffic flow at Cleveland Middle School has improved after an extra lane was added to separate parent pickup traffic, which she described as "great engineering and great work."
The remarks were delivered during the commissioners' reports portion of the meeting; no formal motions or budget figures were provided for the projects during the meeting.
