Applicant withdraws request to close Brookwood Village road for Andrews Sports Medicine construction
Summary
An applicant sought permission to close a city-owned road through Brookwood Village for construction related to Andrews Sports Medicine through April 2027 but withdrew the request by email; the committee dropped the item 5-0 after noting potential resident concerns about pedestrian access.
On Oct. 6, 2025, the Homewood City Public Works Committee considered a request from an applicant to close a city-owned road through Brookwood Village for construction of an Andrews Sports Medicine facility through April 2027. Staff reported that the applicant had emailed to withdraw the request, and the committee voted to drop the item.
The request, listed as agenda item 280925 and presented by staff as coming from Kevin Lavoie, sought permission for a road closure through Brookwood Village during construction. Staff said the applicant asked to withdraw the request and planned to return later with revised materials.
Committee members noted the pathway in question functions as a pedestrian cut-through used by walkers, joggers and cyclists. One committee member said residents would likely be concerned if the link were closed. Staff noted that the city owns the road and that pedestrian access and community impacts would need to be considered if the applicant re-submits a closure request.
Councilor Gere moved to drop the item following the applicant's withdrawal; Councilor Sims seconded. The committee recorded a 5-0 vote to drop the agenda item. No closure or construction authorization was granted at the Oct. 6 meeting.
