body
Background/Staff Comments
The Comprehensive Transportation Network Plan (Major Thoroughfare Plan) was updated initially adopted on August 25, 2016. City staff has worked with the Southbrooke Development team to make proposed modifications to the Comprehensive Transportation Network Plan to accommodate both our long term growth within the City and the proposed development. Below is list of the proposed modifications:
• Staff worked with the developer to realign Project 91 [McLemore Road (Goose Creek Bypass to Lewisburg Pike)]. Project 91 will be able to provide the connectivity necessary between Goose Creek Bypass and Lewisburg Pike allowing us to remove Projects 82 [Snowbird Hollow Road (Goose Creek Bypass to Lewisburg Pike)].
• Staff also removed Project 85 [McLemore Road Extension (Lewisburg Pike to Lewisburg Pike)] and we are looking at future roadway plans within that area to accomidate the future growth. Staff will present other opportunities within that area of the City in the near future.
This modification to the Comprehensive Transportation Network Plan is required prior to allowing the Board of Mayor and Aldermen to approve the proposed Southbrooke Development Plan.
