Residents press council on striping, turning light, pothole repairs and property complaints
Summary
Several residents raised traffic and infrastructure concerns during public comment: a request for park-exit striping, an inquiry about a missing turning light at Buckhannon Pike & Pennsylvania Avenue and speed bumps, a pothole repair status, and a property-related complaint that the council advised be handled through legal counsel.
During the public comment period on Sept. 24 multiple residents raised local infrastructure and property concerns. Resident Dennis Dutchess asked for "an update on striping of the park exit to the top of Illinois Avenue to the area around Taqueria LouLous," and Code Enforcement Officer Wade Keith said the contractor schedule likely means a one- to two-month wait. Resident Mike Curran requested an update on the lack of a turning light at Buckhannon Pike and Pennsylvania Avenue, saying he wanted action on the intersection; Mayor Sam Maxson said he had attempted to contact the West Virginia Department of Highways but had not yet received a response.
Resident Jennifer Robinson asked about the status of a pothole at Bryan Street and Indiana Avenue and whether the cybersecurity evaluation carried a cost cap or could include other departments; she was told the pothole repair is in progress and that the cybersecurity evaluation scheduling is time-constrained due to late notice. Resident Eddie Steele voiced a property complaint; the council suggested he consult legal counsel because it involves ongoing legal matters.
