Residents raise traffic, pothole and park-striping concerns at council meeting
Summary
Several residents asked the council for updates on park-exit striping, a pothole at Bryan Street & Indiana Avenue, the absence of a turning light at Buckhannon Pike & Pennsylvania Avenue and speed-bump discussions; staff said repairs and contractor scheduling are in progress and that the mayor had contacted WV DOH with no response to date.
During the public-comment period, residents raised multiple traffic and maintenance concerns. Dennis Dutchess asked about repainting/striping the park exit up to Illinois Avenue near Taqueria LouLous; Code Enforcement Officer Wade Keith said the contractor was scheduling the work and estimated it would occur in about one to two months.
Resident Mike Curran asked about the absence of a turning light at Buckhannon Pike and Pennsylvania Avenue and about speed bumps; Mayor Sam Maxson said he had contacted the West Virginia Department of Highways but had not yet received a response and that there have been no recent Traffic Advisory Board meetings. Jennifer Robinson asked about a pothole at Bryan Street & Indiana Avenue and was told the repair is in progress. A resident raising a property complaint was advised to consult legal counsel because it involved an ongoing legal matter.
