Residents get more details about Glade Road expansion

TransSystems' Chad Gartner showed residents three options: two lanes with a continuous left turn lane; two lanes with left turn lanes where needed; and two lanes with medians and left turn lanes.

Resident Bobby Lindmood, who lives along Glade and put up signs protesting the widening, said he doesn't want any of those options,

"We want the road improved as far as fixing the deterioration," he said, but he and other neighbors don't want any more work.

TransSystems distributed comment cards at the meeting, and will continue to take public input on the website www.gladeroadproject.com until Dec. 18.

"Public input is vital to the success of this project," Gartner told the audience.

He said TransSystems plans to make a recommendation to the city council by late January. He said they will look for a way to make the road safer as well address resident concerns.

The city council, many of whom were at Monday's meeting, will have the final say.
