7 issues in roads with medium priority
N. Rocky River Rd and Weddington Rd intersection improvements
The committee was to consider upgrades to the intersection of North Rocky River Road and Weddington Road.
Micro surfacing asphalt treatment
A proposed micro surfacing contract would preserve city streets before they need costlier repairs. It's routine road maintenance, but it keeps neighborhood streets in good shape.
Ann Street closure at King Oak
A request to close Ann Street at King Oak is before the committee. Street closures can change traffic patterns and access for neighbors, so nearby residents may want to weigh in.
Stewart Street Right-of-Way Abandonment
The council was set to state its intent to abandon about 379 feet of unopened Windsor Street right-of-way, with a hearing May 26.
Stafford Street Extension Speed Limit Request
Council was scheduled to formally ask NCDOT to lower the speed limit on Stafford Street Extension between Sutherland Avenue and the northern city limits — a safety request for drivers and pedestrians on that corridor.
CRTPO delegate accountability and alternate delegate appointment
Monroe's CRTPO delegate voted to rescind project support without first getting direction from the council, exposing a gap in how the city's regional votes are coordinated. The council was set to appoint an alternate delegate who can vote when the primary is absent.
Morgan Mill Road Intersection Improvements
N.C. DOT requested utility construction approvals for intersection improvements at Morgan Mill Road with Sutherland Avenue and with Olive Branch Road.
