2 issues in roads with high priority
Marsh Road Traffic Concerns
Commissioners and residents agreed a big chunk of Marsh Road traffic comes from Lake County commuters using it as the only east-west route. The mayor is negotiating with the expressway authority about a possible toll road, and Commissioner Sharman suggested a traffic signal at the county line.
Avalon Road congestion and funding
Residents repeatedly said Avalon Road — not just Marsh Road — is the real bottleneck, with no widening planned or funded. Commissioner Sharman floated special assessments, and Mayor Rees is pursuing a toll road concept and a traffic signal at the Lake County line.
