Top issues during term (10)(Roads)
Main Street sidewalk connector
The council says sidewalk repair isn't a budget issue — it's about residents reporting problems via the 311 app.
NE Gateway Plan and neighborhood connectivity
LAPP transportation grant applications
$1.2M local match sought for Holly Springs Road West; the greenway reapplication could shift the local share from 30% to 20% on a now-$5M project.
Lassiter Road traffic safety and the proposed Chase bank
The developer is putting $6,500 toward traffic calming on Lassiter; a full widening with curb, gutter, and sidewalks would cost roughly $5 million and require taking right-of-way from residents.
Holly Springs Hopper Expansion
Expanding service could cost the town as little as $36,957 thanks to the 65% CAMPO match.
Intelligent Transportation Systems and Traffic Signals
$250K for the study is already in the budget; preemption retrofits would add roughly $100–200K.
Bicycle Transportation Policy
Woods Creek Road crosswalk and speeding concerns
Unknown — a crosswalk study and flashing beacon would require town funding if pursued.
Bicycle Network Planning
Council's retreat vision would shift bike-ped transportation funding from about 17% to 35%.
Innovate Avenue maintenance acceptance
Adds a road to the Town's maintenance obligations but also boosts Powell Bill street-aid funding.
