3 issues in roads
ADA Ramp and Sidewalk Improvements
Students and local advocates proposed a cost-sharing program between homeowners and the city to repair aging sidewalks and improve pedestrian safety. Public works noted existing ramp upgrades and saw-cutting efforts, while residents debated whether property owners should bear costs when city trees cause damage.
Roadway audit and rehabilitation program
About $4 million a year goes to road work, with big projects coming: Walton Avenue rehabilitation, Bogue Road widening for the Newcomb Ranch development, grant-funded Garden Highway and George Washington rebuilds, and a planned $12-14 million bond-funded citywide pavement program.
2025 Street Resurfacing Project
The council was scheduled to award a $1.29 million construction contract to VSS International for this year's street resurfacing work. That means smoother roads and fewer potholes on city streets.
