Monroe adopts Transportation Master Plan to guide growth corridors, not to force construction on private land
Summary
Jones & DeMille Engineering presented the Transportation Master Plan as a tool to document growth corridors and secure future funding. The council adopted the plan and the mayor clarified the plan does not authorize building roads on private property; developers would construct roads required at time of development.
Lyndon Friant of Jones & DeMille Engineering told the Monroe City Council the Transportation Master Plan documents potential growth corridors and is intended to help the city secure future transportation funding, including possible Main Street improvements.
Friant said the plan is not an authorization to construct roads on private land. Mayor Johnny Parsons told the council he had received calls from residents south of Monroe who feared roads would be placed through their fields and clarified that the plan "does not authorize the City to construct roads on private property; rather, any required roads would be the responsibility of a developer at the time of development."
After final edits by Jones & DeMille Engineering and publication to the city website, Councilmember Perry Payne moved to adopt Ordinance 05 02 2026 adopting the Monroe City Transportation Master Plan. The motion passed unanimously (Bagley, Barney, Johnson, Payne).
