Residents oppose renewed one-way proposal for Demorest Lake Road; council notes narrow roadway
Summary
A renewed request to make Demorest Lake Road one-way — first raised by Piedmont University in 2021 — drew opposition from resident Lynn Percy Nov. 6; Chief Chastain described the road as narrow and Councilman Shawn Allen said he would not support a change if residents objected.
The Council revisited a proposal to make Demorest Lake Road a one-way street, a request that Piedmont University initially brought forward in 2021 but failed to win sufficient support.
Resident Lynn Percy spoke in opposition at the Nov. 6 work session. Chief Chastain described the road as narrow, and Councilman Shawn Allen said he would not vote in favor of making the road one-way if residents disagreed. The transcript records the council’s discussion and past history but does not show a new motion or vote on the change at this meeting.
Because prior action in 2021 failed for lack of support, council members framed the matter as a community-sensitive issue and did not take formal action during the work session.
