The city plans to tackle improvements on key streets to keep infrastructure strong and roads safer for everyone. These upgrades fit into the city's five-year strategic plan, aimed at better traffic flow and overall maintenance. Officials say it's a smart way to handle growing needs without major disruptions. Mayor Chris Leavesay calls it a big step forward, noting how smoother roads boost safety, daily commutes, local businesses, and life in the community. Kicking off in early April, crews will add a right turn lane from northbound Adam's Dairy Parkway to Eastbound Duncan Road on April 6th. Why a road gets work from seven highway to Adam's Dairy Parkway, starting April 15th, while main street downtown sees enhancements for pedestrians, and looks in May. Plus, the neighborhood program covers 110 lane miles.
