Road and drainage funding shifts
Two American Rescue Plan transfers were on the consent agenda: $716,732 moved from the Holly Hill/Florida Development Road project to Deen Still Road/Waverly Barn Road/Northridge Trail, and $558 moved from Palmer Road to Northwest Wahneta drainage.
Cypress Parkway/Lake Marion Creek Road intersection
After years of study and design constraints, the intersection will be realigned and signalized. Design and right-of-way take about 12-15 months; construction could start in roughly 18 months.
Hancock Road speed humps
Neighbors on three roads will get 11 total speed humps after speeding data and 80% resident ballots supported them. On Plymouth Road, a resident noted cut-through traffic shifted there after humps went on Moss Road.
