Top issues during term (8)(Roads)
Bailey Road Extension Grant Funding
Road repair costs could fall on the town, state, or the developer depending on bond requirements.
Jetton Road Speeding
Street Acceptance in The Retreat at West Catawba
Adds two short streets to the town's maintenance obligations.
Exit 27 interchange and Westmoreland Road traffic
The pre-meeting noted the BUILD Grant match and the Town's verbal commitment for the interchange carry significant budget implications for the nearly exhausted undesignated fund balance.
Faded road striping at key intersections
Thermoplastic striping is costly and typically done on an annual cycle.
I-77 South Toll Lane Project Support
A legislative bill could force towns that rescinded to pay back their share of $60M+ in NCDOT design spending.
NC 73 widening and corridor traffic
Traffic calming in Antiquity
Residents argue the cost of speed tables would be similar to the cost of another traffic study.
