3 issues in roads with medium priority
Caldwell Station Creek Greenway closure
The greenway between Highway 21 and Bailey Road is closed until 2027 for road construction — the trail will be removed and re-paved after the Bailey Road realignment is done.
Faded road striping at key intersections
Commissioner Higgins flagged missing stop bars and faded striping, including at the Town Hall intersection; staff is building a priority list and won't wait on NCDOT where safety is at stake.
Bailey Road Traffic and Safety
Commissioner Sansbury flagged ongoing traffic and safety problems around the Bailey Road school cluster, including learning cottages and drop-off conflicts with a nearby retirement community, and asked CMS to share the burden of solutions the town has been funding alone.
