Grant Line Road Roundabouts Project

Council Member Harrison reported the Council of Governments approved $10 million for Valley Link and that the city is seeking about $22 million more for widening Byron Road from two to four lanes, with $23 million already secured.
SB 1 Road Maintenance Projects
Gas tax money funds pavement rehab in Bethany Village and arterials, plus slurry seal and crack sealing in Hansen Village, for the coming fiscal year.
Great Valley Parkway construction zone safety
A resident reported weeds growing tall in the temporary construction area between Great Valley Parkway and the lakes, blocking visibility for small cars and causing several near-misses. Public works committed to inspecting the site the next day.
