Council approves $24,525 budget transfer for speed cushions and streetlight upgrades in Robins West
Summary
Council transferred $24,525 from a reserved capital balance to fund neighborhood improvements: speed cushions on Win Place and replacement/upgrade of 13 streetlights in the Robins West neighborhood as a pilot traffic-calming effort.
The Warner Robins City Council approved a budget transfer of $24,525 to fund neighborhood improvements, including speed cushions and an upgrade of 13 streetlights in the Robins West neighborhood.
Councilman Curtis (speaker 15) moved to transfer $24,525 from the general fund balance reserved for capital projects to the BNI and Public Works accounts to install speed cushions along Win Place (between Wilbourn Road and adjoining reserves) and to upgrade 13 existing streetlights to 250-watt fixtures on 30-foot poles in Robins West. The transfer used reserved neighborhood-improvement funds established in ordinance 205-201 (cited in the motion as the original reserve ordinance date). The motion waived second reading and passed by unanimous voice vote.
Councilmembers and staff described the Win Place speed-cushion pilot as a response to neighborhood complaints about vehicle speeds following nearby apartment construction, and said the project is a first step that could expand if effective. Staff said one streetlight request elsewhere will be brought at the next meeting.
Next steps: Public Works will schedule installation of speed cushions and streetlight upgrades and report back if the pilot is expanded.
