Pattie Marshall, a Member of a South Iredell Growth Study Commission, Presents "A
Petition to Reduce Brawley School Road Traffic": Marshall indicated that 2400 people had
signed a petition requesting the reduction of traffic on the Brawley School Road. She said, "We
are aware that the road construction project is not under your control, but we urge you to take
action on items that are under your control or that you can influence, by all available means, such
as, reducing building permits, putting in a turn lane at Oak Tree and Brawley School Road, and
staggering school start times." Ms. Marshall said the suggestions could be discontinued when the
road widening project was finished. In reference to paying for the turn lane, she said it was her
understanding that state discretionary funding could be used.
Ms. Marshall distributed a copy of the petition to each board member, and requested that it
be considered at the Winter Planning Session when the Growth Management Study was reviewed.
