Residents urge traffic calming for Arbor Valley Drive as council advances improvement funding; moratorium on cannabis challenged
Summary
At the March 9 council meeting, a resident urged adding physical traffic calming to the Arbor Valley Drive redesign as council moved a first reading to fund the Arbor Valley Drive Improvement Program. A separate resident formally requested lifting the city's cannabis moratorium.
Two residents used the public-comment period at the Lancaster City Council's March 9 meeting to press for policy changes affecting neighborhood safety and local cannabis rules.
Resident Brian Everitt (201 S. High St.) addressed council to advocate that the Arbor Valley Drive redesign include physical traffic calming measures. Council has a pending first-reading resolution (Temporary Resolution 32-26) authorizing funding for the Arbor Valley Drive Improvement Program; Councilmember Carr noted the item is at the first of two readings. In the Public Works committee update later in the meeting, Councilmember Carr reported that bids for the Arbor Valley and general street-improvement projects have been awarded, indicating project procurement is moving forward.
Separately, resident Daniel Delsignore Jr. (1035 Sugar Grove Road SE) formally requested that council lift the moratorium on cannabis. The minutes record his formal request but no motion or council direction to act on the moratorium during this session.
Council did not take final action on the Arbor Valley funding resolution at this meeting; the item remains at first reading and will appear on a future agenda for further consideration. Likewise, the cannabis moratorium request was recorded under public comment and no immediate follow-up action was recorded.
