Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Wake Forest public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Ligon Mill Road extension
The proposed ~$95 million Ligon Mill extension would widen Durham Road to seven lanes in front of homes. Residents asked for a dedicated public meeting, the traffic study, and consideration of a Capital Boulevard-parallel alternative.
South Franklin Street traffic safety
Residents raised speeding concerns on South Franklin through Holding Village. Staff added signs and striping, and the Board cut the speed limit from 35 to 25 mph between Artisan Park Drive and Heritage Greens Drive.
Rogers Road traffic safety and connectivity
Residents raised concerns about left turns onto a curvy, busy stretch of Rogers Road near schools, and about cut-through traffic if Golden Poppy Court is extended. The applicant's traffic engineer said the project adds fewer than 1,000 trips a day and the median break location is fixed by NCDOT spacing rules.
