Porter Authorizes Survey of Glohaven Avenue to Address School Pickup Traffic
Summary
Mayor Steve Dickey moved and the board approved allowing Jackie Todd to obtain a survey to widen Glohaven Avenue for half a block west of Main Street to reduce school drop-off congestion; city employees may perform the work pending the survey.
Mayor Steve Dickey described traffic problems at school drop-off and pickup times, citing vehicles parking on Glohaven Avenue and pedestrians crossing Main Street. Jackie Todd proposed widening Glohaven Avenue for one half block west from Main Street and said town employees could perform the widening if the street is surveyed. The board voted to allow Jackie Todd to obtain a survey; the motion was seconded by Kevin Walker and carried unanimously.
The minutes record authorization to obtain a survey but do not specify funding, timeline, or whether design or contractor bids will be required. The board's action permits staff to evaluate feasibility for a half-block widening adjacent to the school.
