Committee hears updates on light‑synchronization funding, neighborhood entry signs and trash calls
Summary
The committee received a status update that a TIP amendment was approved and CMAQ funding will be appropriated once the TIP is updated; a subdivision requested the city assume maintenance of private entry signs and the committee agreed to place that item on a future agenda; staff also reported low trash‑collection complaint counts.
Committee members received several brief updates on other public‑works items: the traffic signal synchronization project, a request for the city to assume maintenance of private entry signage in a subdivision, and a trash‑collection status report.
On signal synchronization, staff said the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) amendment was approved by the policy board and that, once the TIP is updated in writing, staff will forward documentation to the Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) so CMAQ funds can be appropriated and a notice to proceed for construction requested.
On neighborhood signage, staff described a request from an owner in Rolling Acreage (Savely/New Shuffle Island area in the transcript) to grant the city an easement so the city could take over ownership and maintenance of private brick entry signs that have been struck repeatedly. Staff noted a prior city sign grant program may apply in some cases and said the item will be added to a future agenda for fuller review.
In a brief operational update, staff said trash‑collection call volumes remained low, noting a single‑day high of 13 calls on the busiest recent day.
The committee did not take formal action on these items at the meeting but asked staff to place the signage request on a future agenda and to move forward on signal synchronization steps once the TIP documentation is complete.
