Pike Road council approves street‑light resolutions, trail and fire‑training bids; advances small‑cell ordinance to first reading
Summary
Council approved two neighborhood street‑light partnership resolutions and accepted bid awards for a trail expansion and a volunteer fire department training facility, and held a first reading of a small‑cell wireless ordinance.
At its April 2026 meeting the Pike Road Town Council approved several routine infrastructure and procurement items and heard a first reading of an ordinance to authorize placement of small‑scale wireless transmitters in town rights‑of‑way.
Council approved a partnership resolution to install street lights requested by the Kinsley neighborhood and a second, similar resolution for another neighborhood; both motions carried on voice votes. The council also accepted a bid for the trail expansion that will connect the tennis courts to amenities at Rolling Hills Park; the chair noted the bid came in under estimate and the council voted to accept it. Council subsequently accepted a bid award for the Pike Road Volunteer Fire Department training facility.
First reading — small‑cell ordinance: The council held a first reading of an ordinance that would authorize the town to participate in siting small‑cell transmitters to improve wireless service. Council members clarified on the record that the ordinance concerns small‑scale transmitters and is not authority for a data center. No final action beyond first reading was taken.
What comes next: The accepted bid awards proceed through the town’s contracting and scheduling processes; staff will return with any required contract documents and implementation details. The small‑cell ordinance will return for additional readings per the town’s ordinance rules.
