Committee to notify residents, open 30-day comment on Creekwood traffic-calming plan
Summary
After resident opposition halted initial pavement markings, the committee asked staff to send a notification and open a 30-day comment period before reapplying lane markings or other calming measures on Creekwood Drive.
The Hendersonville Public Works Committee directed staff to notify residents and open a 30-day public comment period before moving forward with traffic-calming pavement markings on Creekwood Drive.
Staff said a previous traffic analysis found the 85th‑percentile speeds met criteria for traffic calming and recommended lane line markings as an initial, low-cost step. When the pavement-marking contractor began laying out markings, several residents objected and the markings were held. The request to revisit the project came after a letter from a resident, identified in the transcript as Mr. Little.
Committee members recommended the city replicate its street‑light notification process — a mailed notice followed by a 30‑day comment period — then return the item to committee for a final recommendation. The committee also discussed that the original engineering recommendation included room for a bike lane where there are no sidewalks, which could provide a safer area for walking.
No formal motion to adopt specific pavement markings was recorded; the committee requested staff proceed with resident notification and return with any comments for further direction.
