Safety concerns on Woodland Road – Residents are concerned with safety of vehicular and pedestrian traffic on Woodland Road especially with further development of The Clearings subdivision. Requests have included reducing the speed, adding stop signs and improving the roadway on Woodland Road and walking paths. Repaving of the roadway is planned for the future and a five-year and ten-year expansion plan of Woodland Road will be developed. Shawn is not in favor of lowering the speed limit but agrees stop signs are warranted and prefers stop signs being added at Woodlake Road rather than Forest Road. Speed tests have shown that 35 mph is the correct speed for the roadway. When the road is repaved sight lines will be improved.
