Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Monroe public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Ann Street closure at King Oak
A request to close Ann Street at King Oak is before the committee. Street closures can change traffic patterns and access for neighbors, so nearby residents may want to weigh in.
Micro surfacing asphalt treatment
A proposed micro surfacing contract would preserve city streets before they need costlier repairs. It's routine road maintenance, but it keeps neighborhood streets in good shape.
Stewart Street Right-of-Way Abandonment
The council was scheduled to hear a request to abandon a portion of the Stewart Street public right-of-way, effectively transferring it to private use.
Stafford Street Extension Speed Limit Request
Council was scheduled to formally ask NCDOT to lower the speed limit on Stafford Street Extension between Sutherland Avenue and the northern city limits — a safety request for drivers and pedestrians on that corridor.
Morgan Mill Road Intersection Improvements
N.C. DOT requested utility construction approvals for intersection improvements at Morgan Mill Road with Sutherland Avenue and with Olive Branch Road.
