Summary
The board approved a road closure request from organizer Mason Harris for a Faith Feeding Families Christmas Eve distribution on Dec. 24. The closure of Backstreet was approved 4-1, with Alderman Calvin Green voting no.
Mason Harris asked the West Jefferson Board of Aldermen for permission to close Backstreet from West Ashe Street to West State Street on Wednesday, Dec. 24 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. for a Faith Feeding Families event to distribute food and gifts.
Alderman Stephen Shoemaker moved to approve the road closure; Alderman John Reeves seconded. The motion passed 4-1, with Alderman Calvin Green recorded as opposing. The minutes do not provide the reason for the dissent.
Why it matters: the road closure authorizes a community holiday distribution that will require temporary traffic control and coordination with town staff and public safety. Organizers should coordinate logistics with the town and police following approval.
What’s next: The closure is approved for Dec. 24 as requested; the organizer and staff will coordinate details directly.
