City reports elevated resurfacing schedule and pending pedestrian crossings after railroad coordination
Summary
Norcross staff told council roughly 20–28% of city roads will be resurfaced this calendar year, pedestrian crossings are scheduled after coordination with the railroad, and a stormwater pipe near City Hall has been realigned as part of ongoing infrastructure work.
City staff updated the council on local infrastructure work, saying the city will resurface a significant portion of its roads this calendar year and that pedestrian crossings should be installed this month after coordination with the railroad.
Staff said that over recent years the city averaged about 1–1.5 roads resurfaced per year, but concentrating projects this year has allowed the city to resurface roughly 20–28 percent of the road network. Staff thanked Public Works leadership for managing funds to deliver more projects at once and explained a recent stormwater pipe realignment near City Hall caused visible excavation but was part of planned infrastructure improvements.
The city noted pedestrian crossing improvements required lengthy railroad coordination, and that railroad safety and assurance protocols delayed installations but that the crossings are now expected soon. Council members and staff also discussed traffic control standards and how state MUTCD (manual uniform traffic control devices) guidance affects eligibility for signalization or other changes on state routes.
Next steps: staff will continue coordination with the railroad on crossings and proceed with the resurfacing schedule; no formal action was required at the work session.
