Mr. Roger Britton of 280 Welcome Way
asked council if the road project was finished. Mr. Townsend
stated the paving project still has to be done this year.
The state will begin at the end of August, first part of
September for paving and SBC and Duke Energy still need to
replace some poles in this project. Mr. Rogers asked if it
would not benefit the city to widen to four lanes instead of
the three, this would help move traffic better. Mayor
Ellender stated that the state does not allow four lanes to
be done; they feel the three lanes is a better traffic flow.
The engineers felt the turn lane at the bridge was better
traffic flow to allow turn traffic only and the thru traffic
does not have to be held up as much. Mr. Britton questioned
the speed thru town if it would continue until the paving
project was done? Mayor Ellender stated the speed limit will
continue as 25 miles per hour until the project is finished.
Mr. Britton asked if the bump on the west end of 123 could
be fixed or at least a sign indicating this is a rough
bump. Mr. Townsend stated he would have the service
department look into this. The bump would be repaired in the
final paving by ODOT.

damage done during the project.
