SUMNER COUNTY, Tenn. — The Sumner County Highway Commission handled routine business Jan. 5, approved minutes with a correction, heard public comment on several local road matters and discussed adding 30-mile-per-hour signs to Carter Ridge Road.

Public comment included multiple residents urging the commission not to accept Wolfpack Way (also referenced as Old Pack/Wolf Pack Way) into the county road system until drainage and structural problems are repaired. Pascal Durrance asked how county road-widening requests are handled after a city development included a condition to widen a county road (Eastland), and other residents urged a public punch list of items to be completed.

On Carter Ridge Road, the road superintendent described adding posted 30 mph signs to a segment that previously had no posted speed limit. The superintendent said the action is not a change to a legal speed-limit regime but provides law enforcement with a posted limit to enforce.

The commission solicited other business and had no additional substantive actions recorded in the transcript. Several commenters asked the commission to coordinate with the school board on drainage and potential fixes; the commission later moved to defer the Wolfpack Way acceptance pending a school-board review.
