STREETS and ROADS COMMISSION AGENDA
March 5, 2019
STREETS AND ROADS COMMISSION MEETING 7:00 pm
1. CALL TO ORDER AND PLEDGE
2. APPROVAL OF COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES
3. COUNCIL LIASON REPORT
4. COMMUNITY CONCERNS/CITIZENS COMMENTS
5. APPROVAL OF PRIOR MINUTES
6. OLD BUSINESS
a. Request for pedestrian crossing across Prospect Road at the intersection of North
Main. This request was discussed at the October 2017 Streets and Roads Commission
meeting. The Commission requested the Town investigate performing a speed and
traffic study of the area. The Commission would like to know the status of this request.
b. South Main and Route 27. At the August 2017 Streets and Roads Commission meeting,
the Commission discussed the difficulty with making a left turn from South Main Street
onto Northbound MD 27. There are two through lanes of oncoming traffic from the exit
ramp of I-70. The driver turning left from South Main can be confused by both lanes
having the through designation. The Commission would like to know the result of any
discussion between Town staff and SHA on this issue. Item held for status update.
c. Rising Ridge Road Signage. There is a concern over inadequate warning signage for
new cross walks installed on Rising Ridge Road. The Commission will discuss
recommendations for signage improvements.
d. Storm Drain Cover Condition Twin Arch Road and Century Drive. The
Commission discussed the condition of a storm drain at the intersection of Twin Arch
Road and Century Drive. The Mayor will email the Town Maintenance Department to
look into that issue. Item held for status update.
STREETS and ROADS COMMISSION AGENDA (cont.)
e. Sterling Glen Speeding Issue. The Commission discussed a complaint from a resident
about speeding in the Sterling Glen neighborhood. The Town will perform traffic and
speed counts and provide the information to the Commission for review and
consideration. Item held for status update.
f. Detours on Main Street During Town Events – The issue of detoured traffic during town
events was discussed and possible alternatives to detour routes when Main Street is closed.
Alternatives included detouring traffic at South Main/Ridgeville Blvd to Rising Ridge.
There was discussion, the Mayor asked Karl Munder to put together a proposal of ideas and
alternatives during town events.
g. Twin Arch Neighborhood Speeding Issue. The Commission discussed a complaint
from a resident about speeding along Back Acre Circle in the Twin Arch neighborhood.
The Town will perform traffic and speed counts and provide the information to the
Commission for review and consideration. Item held for status update.
h. Back Acre Circle Parking Issue. The Commission discussed a complaint from
residents of the Twin Arch neighborhood about parking on Back Acre Circle in front of
2904 Back Acre Circle. Parking in this area is a concern to traveling public along this
road especially during evening hours when visibility is limited. Possible solutions
include restricting parking in this area, restriping the center line of the road, improving
on-site parking availability, and traffic calming. The Town will perform traffic and
speed counts and evaluate the current width and stripping of the road and signage of the
area and report back to the Commission. Item held for status update.
i. Traffic Light at Main Street and Ridgeville Blvd. A citizen has requested
information on who has jurisdiction over the traffic light at Main Street and
Ridgeville Blvd and has requested to install a left hand turn for traffic turning onto
Main Street. Item held for status update.
j. Hill Street Issues – A letter was received from a resident on Hill Street asking the
Town to look into the speeding issue and possibly lowering the speed limit on that
street. It was recommended that a speed and traffic study be done. Item held for status
update.
7. NEW BUSINESS
a. Requests for Temporary or Permanent On-Street Parking. The Commission will
discuss developing a list of information needed to make a judgment on any future
requests to allow temporary or permanent on-street parking.
b. Speed Limit on MD 27 through Mount Airy Town limits. A citizen has questioned
the posted speed limit on MD 27 through Mount Airy Town limits.
