6 issues in roads with medium priority
Speed humps on Grafton Hall Road
District 25 wants six speed humps and 16 signs on Grafton Hall Road between Valley Station Road and Jacqueline Way — a $24,256 traffic-calming project aimed at slowing cut-through drivers. It's one of the largest items on the docket.
Sidewalk repairs and extensions
District 5's sidewalk blitz gets its final $58,522 round of repairs at five addresses, and District 26 funds a $65,000 extension completing the sidewalk to Seneca High School.
Pee Wee Reese Road shared lane markings
A repaving project on Pee Wee Reese Road added a bike lane but didn't budget enough for striping, so Districts 8 and 9 split the $21,500 cost to finish the shared lane markings.
Roadway crash debris ordinance
A new ordinance would require drivers and tow companies to reasonably remove or report vehicle debris after crashes, with fines for tow operators who leave wreckage behind. Over 16,000 crashes have occurred this year and nearly 300 debris complaints have come through 311 since the start of 2025.
Speed humps on Dorsey Way
Five speed humps and signage are coming to Dorsey Way between Shelbyville Road and Tamarisk Parkway, funded by District 18. Residents on the long, fast stretch requested the change to slow cut-through traffic in the back part of the neighborhood.
Snow Route Coverage of Neighborhood Streets and Sidewalks
Council members pressed Public Works on why neighborhood streets aren't plowed and why residents don't clear sidewalks. The department cited equipment limits and funding, and said it's exploring partnerships with community groups to help clear sidewalks and better communication about property-owner responsibilities.
